This device requires no assembly, saving time in life-threatening situations.

An endotracheal intubation device is utilized by doctors and paramedics to mechanically create an airway and to ventilate an injured person. The most common ventilating practice in the paramedic industry today requires assembly of a three-piece system at the time when intubation is necessary, which is typically in an ambulance at the time of an emergency. This is a cumbersome and time-consuming process. An endotracheal (ET) intubation device was invented for paramedics to save time and lives by reducing the number of parts used during endotracheal intubation.
