Abstract
An intubation assisting device includes an elongate stylet having a lens at a distal end thereof, a flexible bellows region proximal to the lens, and a semi-malleable region proximal to the flexible bellows. The stylet is mountable upon a body portion that has a handle mountable thereto. The body and styler have internally disposed therein an optical fiber assembly that enables a physician to view a patient's internal anatomy during an intubation procedure with the aid of an eyepiece disposed at a proximal end of the body portion. A pair of control cables extend within the bellows region of the stylet to the exterior of the device to facilitate articulation of the distal end of the stylet.
