Pediatric blades are now available! Check out the download pages for more information.
We are a not-for-profit tutorial website and resource center dedicated to making video laryngoscopes accessible in under resourced nations. We've designed and created 3D files of adult and pediatric video laryngoscope blades. Our AirAngel blades come in Adult Standard, Adult extra large, Pediatric 1, and Pediatric 2 sizes. You can download our standard adult file for FREE or purchase the extra large adult file or pediatric files for a small fee. Once you download the 3D file of your choice, you will then 3D print it at home or have a 3D printing company make one for you. After you have 3D printed your AirAngel blade, we'll take you step-by-step on how to put it all together. This website includes helpful links, video tutorials, and answers common questions. Always feel free to reach out and email us with any questions.
Below is a video of our very first system that we built and sent with a medical missions team to the Philippines.
On this website we'll talk about 2 different ways of building your own VL system. Both systems require that you buy or print the AirAngel blade.
The Combination Screen and Camera System
The AirAngel blade + a combination screen and camera system.
-
The easiest system to set up
-
Both screen and videoscope are included.
-
Cost effective
-
Consider this option if you have an iPhone or don't want to use your Android smartphone as a video screen.
-
Many screen and camera combinations are for sale, we prefer camera cable lengths of 1 meter if possible.
The Android System
The AirAngel Blade + Android smartphone + separate plugin flexible videoscope.
-
Works if you have an Android smartphone with OTG function
-
You'll need a flexible videoscope that is compatible with your AirAngel Blade and Android smartphone.
-
Will need to download separate App to smartphone.
-
Can buy a wifi endoscope to connect to both android or iPhones, but possible lag/connection issues exist (especially if not fully charged)
READY TO GET STARTED?

PLEASE NOTE: The intended purpose of this VL system is for it to be used as a life saving airway management tool in third world countries or as a training tool. This does not replace any medical grade VL system. We always recommend using an approved medical device whenever possible. This is not in any way an approved medical device nor has it been reviewed by the FDA. It should never be used for medical purposes in the USA. Be aware that many plastics vary in strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. Strength and durability of blade will vary depending on what you print it with. Harmful and life threatening complications may occur if pieces break in the airway.
