IntuBlade founder teaching airway management to clinicians

From the field to
the emergency room.

Born from loss. Built with purpose.

Our story began in combat medicine and continued in the emergency room. Different environments. The same responsibility to the patient.

Andrew founded IntuBlade to bring that experience into the equipment clinicians rely on. Today, our team brings clinical practice, engineering, and education together to make airway care more accessible.

The story behind IntuBlade Andrew Napier, MD · Founder & CEO

What IntuBlade does

Two tools. One purpose: a better first attempt.

Video laryngoscopy

A single-use video laryngoscope that pairs with a standard tablet or phone. It gives clinicians a clear view of the airway on first pass, without a proprietary monitor or capital contract.

Clinical intelligence

Software that turns airway encounters into usable clinical data. Teams document, review, and learn from every intubation, building a record that improves training and outcomes.

What makes IntuBlade different

Specific, measurable, and proven in the field.

12 seconds faster in clean airways

In a peer-reviewed simulation study (AJEM 2021) with 21 emergency physicians, mean intubation time was 14.3 seconds with IntuBlade versus 26.3 with GlideScope Ranger in clean simulated airways.

9.6 seconds faster in soiled airways

With the airway soiled with mock blood, mean time was 19.0 seconds with IntuBlade versus 28.6 with GlideScope Ranger. A simulation study, not a patient-outcomes trial.

No capital contract, no per-blade lock-in

IntuBlade sells in boxes, purchased outright. There is no mandated multi-year capital contract and no proprietary monitor to finance, unlike systems such as GlideScope.

Works with a screen you already carry

The blade connects to a standard tablet or phone, so crews are not tied to a dedicated monitor. One less piece of hardware to buy, charge, and maintain.

Veteran-led, built from combat medicine

IntuBlade was founded by an emergency physician and former Army combat medic alongside a Marine Corps veteran. The design came out of the field, not a boardroom.

The team behind IntuBlade

From the bedside to the workbench. Different expertise. One shared responsibility.
