Development of a Novel Steerable Bougie

Conclusion Users have defined a need for a new steerable bougie for endotracheal intubation. Controlling smart materials and mechanisms within the predefined dimensions identified strengths and weaknesses associated with steerable functions. The performance of the selected mechanism for incorporation in the steerable bougie requires a high level of control to accurately steer a device within the human airway.
