McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope
The McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope is designed for airway intubation in the OR, ICU, ER, and EMS environments.
It provides clinicians a familiar, ergonomic design (1) built on the proven McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope. It is associated with the highest first-pass success rates (2, 3) and helps reduce intubation time compared to traditional direct laryngoscopes, (4) supporting airway management.
Featuring a bigger, brighter screen,* seamless streaming, exclusive CaseCapture™ retrospective recording, and other advanced functions, the McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope can be used for routine intubations across OR, ICU, ER, and EMS environments. Designed with clinicians in mind, it also helps support improved team collaboration, visualization, and hands-on training opportunities. These innovations expand what’s possible with a device already used by clinicians worldwide.

*Compared to the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope
Same ergonomic design, better visualization
The McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope features a touchscreen with 45% more screen area and 4.5 times higher resolution than the the previous McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope, while keeping the same ergonomic design clinicians love. (1)
Work-flow friendly stream, record, save
- Seamless streaming: Unlike some video laryngoscopes that require apps, Wi-Fi, cables, Bluetooth, or screen changes to stream, the McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope doesn’t. Powered by ProxiLinq™ wireless technology, which connects the McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope handle to the McGRATH™ relay internally, clinicians simply need to pair the relay with any external HDMI display once, and streaming starts automatically every time the device is turned on.
- Retrospective recording: Often, the case you wish you had recorded was the one you just performed. The exclusive CaseCapture™ retrospective recording captures your entire procedure - no matter when you hit record - so you can review and learn from every case.
- Auto file saving: Data is automatically stored and securely deleted within seven days via the McGRATH™ relay.
Enhance training and collaboration
Ideal for teaching and training, enabling residents and fellows to take on challenging cases while supervisors guide from second screen viewing. (5, 6) Streaming enables real-time guidance during intubation without compromising situational awareness. (5, 6) Post-procedure recording review creates a complete learning loop for continuous improvement. (5)
Always reliable. Always ready power source
Unlike some video laryngoscopes with batteries built into the handles or screens, the McGRATH™ rechargeable battery is removable. The charging station can charge up to five batteries simultaneously — so there’s no downtime waiting for the device to charge.
Battery benefits
- 10,000 minutes of useful life, 60 minutes of operating time on the McGRATH™ MAC+ video laryngoscope (8, 9)
- Minute-by-minute battery time countdown on the screen, displaying remaining battery time (8)
- Color-coded LED indicator provides a visual indication of how much power remains to easily identify ready-to-use batteries (8)
- A rigid tab enables quick, single-handed, easy removal (10)
- The McGRATH™ rechargeable batteries help reduce waste generation by 98.7% and are expected to provide hospitals with long-term cost savings*, (11)
*When compared with the McGRATH™ disposable battery. Based on a standardized operation runtime of 10,000 minutes, disposing the McGRATH™ rechargeable battery generate 24.72 grams of waste, while disposing the McGRATH™ disposable batteries generate 1098.5 grams of waste.
