Airtraq, Mercury Medical Reach North American Distribution Deal

PRESS RELEASE

Prodol Meditec, SA, manufacturer of the Airtraq video laryngoscope and camera system, has selected Mercury Medical as their exclusive North America distributor partner for their state-of-the-art video laryngoscope product line effective January 1, 2022. This exclusive agreement includes distribution in Canada and Puerto Rico.

Airtraq simplifies video laryngoscopy with its ETT channel guide aiding in safety and in reducing intubation time. The fully disposable system with its 90-degree shape works with the anatomy, minimizing the need for hyperextension while reducing force. There is no need for a stylet, avoiding potential injury while eliminating additional intubation equipment costs. Airtraq facilitates intubation from any position with clinical evidence of high intubation success rates and is easy to learn. The optional lightweight Wi-Fi camera facilitates video recording and auto-recording options.

Mercury Medical is a leading provider of cutting-edge technology in the acute care and emergency markets both in the United States and globally—a philosophy that is fully in line with Airtraq.

John Gargaro MD, president and CEO, says, “Our mission is delivering clinically differentiated critical care technology that saves lives throughout the world. As such, Mercury Medical believes the Airtraq is a superior solution designed to improve outcomes in patients requiring intubation. As a company, Mercury Medical has a rich experience in introducing and educating clinicians on innovative, clinically differentiated medical devices. We are extremely pleased to partner with Airtraq in this endeavor to advance intubation practices. The clinical evidence supporting Airtraq’s superior performance is strong and aligned with Mercury Medical’s mission.”

Danny Daniel, Airtraq’s VP of North America sales, says, “Airtraq is very excited to appoint Mercury Medical as our exclusive U.S. partner. The core philosophy of our two companies is very much aligned. We strive to innovate clinically differentiated products that improve provider care and save precious lives. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership together as we continue to bring cutting-edge airway management technology to our customers.”
