Quick Hack - Securing the Aintree to the Scope

Tape and silicone lubricant simply don't mix.


Securing the Aintree catheter to the fiberoptic scope can be tricky and frustrating with tape.


Try this hack next time.



Use the 15 mm circuit adapter included in the Aintree packaging to secure the Aintree to the scope. A rubber band can then be used as pictured to hold it all in place.

No more tape! No more slippage during intubation!
