What ETView Medical does

ETView Medical is an Israel-based medical device company that developed the world's first single-use double lumen endobronchial tube with an integrated CMOS video camera and LED lighting for continuous airway visualization during One Lung Ventilation (OLV) procedures. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Misgav, the company's flagship VivaSight platform enables real-time monitoring of tube placement throughout thoracic surgery, addressing the clinical risks of tube malpositioning and dislocation without requiring separate bronchoscope confirmation. The product is supplied sterile and single-use, eliminating cross-contamination risk between patients, and is available in multiple French sizes (35, 37, 39, 41 Fr) for left and right lung isolation. Functional benefits cited include faster intubation, reduced bronchoscope confirmation dependency, immediate malposition detection, and up to USD 47.65 cost savings per procedure compared with conventional DLT-plus-reusable-bronchoscope workflows, with 13 clinical studies supporting the product.

In 2017, Ambu A/S (Nasdaq Copenhagen: AMBUb.CO) acquired ETView Medical, integrating the VivaSight portfolio into its airway management and anesthesia product line. The acquisition gave ETView's technology access to Ambu's global distributor network across Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific, as well as integration with Ambu's aView 2 Advance full-HD endoscopy monitor, which supports Dual View mode streaming simultaneous video from VivaSight 2 DLT and Ambu aScope 4 Broncho Slim bronchoscopes. The VivaSight platform has since expanded beyond the original DLT to include the VivaSight 2 SLT and VivaSight Endobronchial Blocker, positioning it as a broader single-use airway visualization portfolio. ETView Medical operates as a fully absorbed subsidiary under Ambu ownership, with no independent ownership structure remaining; product pricing is quote-based and disclosed only on request. Leadership includes CFO Ronen Koyfman and COO Yonat Granot, and the company received early funding from Trendlines Group in 2009.

Core offering

ETView Medical develops and manufactures single-use airway management devices with integrated video camera technology. Its flagship VivaSight 2 DLT is a sterile, single-use double-lumen endobronchial tube with an embedded CMOS camera and LED lighting for continuous real-time visualization during One Lung Ventilation (OLV) procedures. The product is available in 35 Fr, 37 Fr, 39 Fr, and 41 Fr sizes and integrates with Ambu's aView 2 Advance monitor for simultaneous video streaming.

Product overview

ETView Medical (technology licensed to Ambu) offers the VivaSight platform of airway management products featuring integrated camera technology for continuous visualization during lung isolation procedures.

Direct peers

• Cook Medical: Cook Medical manufactures airway management devices including endobronchial blockers and related single-use products used during OLV. It competes for hospital airway management budget alongside VivaSight 2.
• Medtronic: Medtronic (via its former Covidien/Mallinckrodt heritage) sells Shiley and Mallinckrodt double-lumen tubes and other airway management devices. It competes head-to-head with VivaSight 2 in the global DLT market and has a much larger commercial footprint.
• Vyaire Medical: Vyaire Medical is a pure-play respiratory and airway management device company offering DLTs, bronchoscopes, and ventilation consumables. It targets the same surgical airway customers as ETView's VivaSight line.
• ICU Medical (Smiths Medical): ICU Medical acquired Smiths Medical's airway and DLT portfolio (Portex brand), making it a direct competitor in single-use DLTs and airway consumables. Like VivaSight, these are sold into hospital surgical suites for thoracic procedures.
• Intersurgical: Intersurgical designs and manufactures a wide range of single-use airway management products including endobronchial tubes and related anesthesia consumables. It is a direct competitive supplier to hospitals performing OLV.
• Teleflex: Teleflex manufactures and sells double-lumen endobronchial tubes (Rusch, Sheridan, Hudson RCI brands) and a broad airway management portfolio. It is one of the most direct competitors to the VivaSight 2 DLT in the OLV/thoracic surgery market.

Emerging players

• Verathon: Verathon (GlideScope) is a leader in video laryngoscopy and airway visualization. While focused on intubation rather than OLV specifically, its visualization-first approach to airway management makes it a comparable innovation-driven peer.
• Pulmodyne: Pulmodyne specializes in single-use respiratory and airway devices including bronchoscopy and oxygenation products. It serves the same anesthesia and thoracic surgery customer base with innovative single-use consumables, partially overlapping with VivaSight's positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Ambu A/S: Ambu is ETView's parent company and a broad incumbent in single-use endoscopy and airway management. Ambu's aScope bronchoscope family and VivaSight 2 DLT together form an integrated OLV solution, but Ambu also overlaps broadly with the peers above across endoscopy.
• Karl Storz: Karl Storz is a global leader in rigid and flexible endoscopy, including bronchoscopes and visualization systems used in thoracic surgery. Its reusable visualization systems compete in the same procedural workflows as VivaSight 2.
