Why Choose Single-Use Intubation Stylet?
A stylet is a ductile rod-like instrument with a handle on one side onto which, an endotracheal tube aka ETT tube. It helps manipulate and shape the ETT tube in the process of intubation. The main purpose of using a stylet is to avoid folding or collapsing the ETT in the trachea during insertion. It helps maintain rigidity and provides control to the surgeon. It is particularly useful in patients with complicated airways.

What are the Uses of Single-Use Intubation Stylet?
The main purpose of this instrument is to help the insertion of an ETT tube in the trachea during intubation, but it might be used in different clinical circumstances.
· Routine Intubations: stylets are very useful in routine intubations to help perform smooth insertion of the endotracheal tube. By using these intubation tools, medical practitioners can safely navigate the airways of patients.
· Complicated Airway Management: patients with compromised tracheal anatomy and obstructed airways are difficult to be intubated. A stylet is usually used to counter these issues and perform successful intubation.
· Simulation & Training: stylets are also used in medical simulation and training to teach clinicians how to intubate. It is very helpful in improving control and practice.
How to Use a Stylet?
Following are the steps to intubate a patient using the intubation stylet:
1. Load the ET tube onto the stylet. Make sure that the distal end of the intubation stylet does not extend beyond the distal end of the ETT.
2. Place the ETT at the opening of the vocal cords and do not extend beyond the vocal cords.
3. When the ETT reaches the glottis, extract the stylet 5cm. This removal of stylet softens the tip of ETT, which allows it to pass through the glottis.
4. Place the ETT as per standard practice.
5. Remove the Stylet.
