The Role of the Veterinary Video Laryngoscope in Modern Practice

Table of Content [Hide]

    In veterinary clinics and field settings, clear visualization of the larynx and airway is critical for intubation, airway evaluation, and diagnosing upper respiratory conditions. A veterinary video laryngoscope provides veterinarians with an illuminated and magnified view of the glottis, enabling safer and more accurate procedures.


    MAIYIS offers an advanced veterinary video laryngoscope (also known as a veterinary screen laryngoscope) that integrates a high-definition camera and display, providing real-time visualization of the laryngeal region. This helps reduce complications and improves procedural success across a wide range of veterinary applications.


    Why Veterinary Video Laryngoscopes Matter in Small Animal Practice


    This type of laryngoscope is especially valuable in small animal practice—cats, dogs, and exotic pets—where anatomical variations make blind placement of airway tubes risky. By incorporating imaging features directly into the laryngoscope, practitioners can visually confirm tube placement instead of relying solely on tactile feedback or indirect techniques.


    Design Features of the MAIYIS Veterinary Video Laryngoscope


    What separates a high-quality veterinary laryngoscope from a conventional blade is the built-in imaging system. The MAIYIS veterinary video laryngoscope includes a slender angled blade (4–8 mm in diameter) attached to a handle that houses the integrated display unit. The device displays a live 720p video stream on a built-in 3.5-inch LCD screen, allowing the operator to clearly view the vocal cords and surrounding airway structures.


    Key technical features include:


    • Slim angled blade for easier navigation in small animals

    • Real-time HD video feed for precise airway visualization

    • Portable and ergonomic design for veterinary workflow


    Use Cases and Clinical Benefits


    A veterinary video laryngoscope is not just for routine intubation during anesthesia; its applications extend to:


    • Airway examinations and diagnostics

    • Foreign body removal

    • Detection of swelling, polyps, tumors, or lesions

    • Real-time imaging support during complex surgeries or emergencies


    Being able to directly visualize the larynx reduces the risk of trauma, tube misplacement, or hypoxia. In addition, the video feed can be recorded, captured, and annotated to support teaching, teleconsultation, and medical record keeping. MAIYIS highlights that the video function is particularly useful for documenting airway lesions during procedures.


    This dual role—as both a procedural tool and a documentation device—makes the veterinary video laryngoscope especially valuable in teaching hospitals, research facilities, and telemedicine consultations where images are shared with specialists.


    Types of Veterinary Laryngoscopes


    MAIYIS's product line illustrates that veterinary laryngoscopes are available in multiple forms:


    • Veterinary Video Laryngoscope (Rigid Screen Type): Features a rigid angled blade with built-in imaging and LCD display (PIE-SL01 model is one example).

    • Veterinary Flexible Laryngoscope: Designed with a bendable shaft to navigate complex airway anatomy, ideal for difficult intubations or smaller exotic species.


    Key Considerations When Choosing a Veterinary Laryngoscope


    When selecting a veterinary laryngoscope, practitioners should evaluate:


    • Blade diameter and curvature (for species-specific use)

    • Video resolution and frame rate

    • Illumination strength

    • Durability (materials and waterproof sealing)

    • Ergonomics and operator comfort

    • Compatibility with external displays or built-in screens

    • Sterilization methods and material resilience


    Since laryngoscopes frequently come into contact with bodily fluids, waterproofing and corrosion resistance are essential. MAIYIS's veterinary video laryngoscope addresses these concerns with a compact slim blade, anti-corrosion materials, HD video capability, and a lightweight portable design.
