Adroit Surgical

What Adroit Surgical does

Adroit Surgical, LLC is a privately funded US medical device company headquartered in Oklahoma City that designs, patents, manufactures, and sells disposable airway management devices for difficult intubation in emergency, prehospital, and clinical settings. The company's product line is anchored by the Vie Scope, a patented, battery-powered, single-use laryngoscope featuring an enclosed clear tube with a beveled end and 360-degree LED ring illumination, and is extended by the pediatric bébé Vie Scope, the Voir Bougie and Tactical Bougie introducers, and bundled kits including a dedicated demo and training kit. Four granted US patents protect the core tube and illumination architecture, and the products are positioned as a faster, simpler, and lower-cost alternative to video laryngoscopy and, in some cases, cricothyroidotomy, with clinical studies cited showing 93.3% first-pass intubation success in EMS settings and intubation times of approximately 49 seconds.

The company sells hardware on a unit-pricing basis through a sales-led motion that combines direct "Request a Demo" and "Free Virtual Demo" CTAs, training videos, and free product samples with a multi-distributor channel that includes Bound Tree, Henry Schein EMS, Medline EMS, Dixie EMS Supply, J&B Medical, Savvik Buying Group, The EMS Store, and The Fire Store. End customers span four target segments: EMS and prehospital providers, emergency medicine and anesthesia physicians, military and VA/DoD medical personnel, and ENT surgeons; named end users in the source material are individual clinicians and paramedic supervisors rather than enterprise accounts. The operating geography is the United States, with no disclosed international distribution, and the company reports ISO 7376 exceedance on blade strength and shelf life, CAPCE accreditation in education, and a HIPAA privacy and security program.

The business is led by CEO and co-founder Nilesh Vasan, COO and co-founder Paul Hagen, and Chief Clinical Officer Keith H. Carter, with a reported headcount of 1-10. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no revenue disclosure, and no parent company; revenue is generated entirely from hardware sales and kit refills through direct engagement and distributor channels.

Core offering

Adroit Surgical is a privately funded medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells patented disposable airway management devices used by EMS providers, hospital clinicians, and military medics to secure difficult airways. Its core products are the Vie Scope® adult laryngoscope and the bébé Vie Scope™ pediatric laryngoscope, paired with bougie introducers (Tactical Bougie® and Voir Bougie®), offered individually and in bundled kits. The products are positioned as faster, safer, and less expensive alternatives to video laryngoscopy and cricothyroidotomy in difficult airway scenarios.

Product overview

Adroit Surgical is a privately funded medical device company specializing in airway management products. The core product line centers on the Vie Scope® family of patented laryngoscopes — a battery-powered, disposable adult intubation device (Vie Scope®) and its pediatric counterpart (bébé Vie Scope™) — which work in conjunction with the company's proprietary bougie introducers (Voir Bougie® and Tactical Bougie®). These products are offered individually or as bundled kits (Vie Scope® Kit, Demo/Training Kit, Bundle refill) along with accessory kit bags. The product ecosystem enables first-pass intubation success rates reportedly exceeding 93% in EMS clinical studies, positioning the Vie Scope as an alternative to video laryngoscopy and cricothyroidotomy in difficult airway scenarios.
