This invention is a medical tool called a stylet, designed to help doctors guide a breathing tube into a patient's windpipe. It has a main shaft with a more flexible tip, and a control wire runs through it. This wire lets the user bend the flexible tip, which is naturally angled in one direction and can be steered the other way.
Why it matters: Filed before further miniaturization of distal end cameras and real-time image processing became more accessible. This could enable visual guidance for intubation.
