The Anesthesia Video Laryngoscope (AVL) is a type of laryngoscope used in ENT (ear, nose, and throat) procedures. It is a device that combines a camera and a laryngoscope blade to provide a clear view of the vocal cords during intubation. The AVL is used to facilitate the insertion of a breathing tube into the trachea, allowing the patient to be placed under general anesthesia. The AVL is a relatively new technology, and its use is becoming increasingly popular in the ENT field. The AVL is designed to provide a better view of the vocal cords than traditional laryngoscopes, allowing for more accurate intubation. It also reduces the risk of trauma to the vocal cords, as the camera provides a clear view of the area. Additionally, the AVL is more comfortable for the patient, as it does not require the patient to open their mouth as wide as with traditional laryngoscopes. The AVL market is growing rapidly, as more ENT professionals are recognizing the benefits of using the device. Companies such as Ambu, Karl Storz, and Verathon are leading the way in the development of AVLs. Other companies such as Olympus, Pentax, and Stryker are also producing AVLs for the ENT market.
