Karl Storz 8401KXC C-MAC Video Laryngoscope MAC #2

Karl Storz C-MAC® Video Laryngoscope | Macintosh #2 | 8401KXC

The Karl Storz 8401KXC is a high-performance video laryngoscope blade engineered for the 2026 standards of airway management. As part of the prestigious C-MAC® system, this Macintosh Size #2 blade combines the familiar geometry of traditional direct laryngoscopy with advanced digital imaging technology.

Designed for pediatric patients or small adults, the 8401KXC provides a wide-angle view of the glottis, allowing for successful intubation even in "can't-see, can't-intubate" scenarios. Its robust, stainless steel construction is paired with a sophisticated distal camera and LED module, delivering high-contrast, real-time video to the C-MAC® monitor.

Key Performance Features

• High-Resolution Imaging: Features a distal camera with a wide field of view, providing a "view around the corner" that significantly improves the Cormack-Lehane grade in difficult airways.

• Macintosh #2 Geometry: The standardized curved blade profile allows clinicians to utilize familiar direct laryngoscopy techniques while having the added security of digital visualization.

• Integrated LED Illumination: Provides high-intensity, cool-white light directly at the glottic opening, eliminating the shadows and "yellowing" common in traditional bulb-and-fiber-optic systems.

• Single-Piece Design: The integrated handle and blade housing are designed for rapid deployment. The ergonomic grip is optimized for stability and tactile feedback during the intubation maneuver.

• All-Metal Durability: Manufactured in Germany from premium surgical stainless steel, ensuring long-term reliability and the ability to withstand high-volume clinical use and repeated sterilization cycles.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Improved First-Pass Success: The digital view allows for the identification of anatomical landmarks that may be obscured during direct laryngoscopy, reducing the trauma associated with multiple intubation attempts.

• Teaching & Coordination: By projecting the airway view onto an external C-MAC® monitor, the entire clinical team can synchronize their efforts, and instructors can provide real-time guidance to residents and students.

• Modular Integration: Sourcing this "Excellent Condition" 8401KXC blade allows facilities to expand their C-MAC® fleet or replace aging components without the capital expense of a full system purchase.

Ideal Applications

• Anesthesiology: Routine and difficult intubations in pediatric or small-stature adult patients.

• Emergency Medicine: Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI) in trauma or respiratory distress scenarios.

• Critical Care: Airway management in the ICU where anatomical visualization may be compromised by edema or positioning.

• Pre-Hospital Care: High-fidelity airway visualization for flight nursing and advanced EMS teams.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Optical Integrity: The distal lens window is clear, free of scratches, and verified for high-definition light transmission.

• Mechanical Condition: The housing and C-MAC® connector are in excellent shape, showing minimal signs of previous clinical wear.

• Compatibility Note: This listing is for the 8401KXC blade/handpiece only. Successful operation requires a compatible Karl Storz C-MAC® Monitor (e.g., 8403ZX) and an electronic connecting cable (not included).
