The MedTech Journey

From Operating Room to Patent Protection

The Pavisus journey began in 2018 with a frustration familiar to most anesthesiologists: blood and secretions blocking the camera lens on videolaryngoscopes during critical moments. Dr. Stoffel experienced this repeatedly during difficult airway procedures and decided to develop a solution.

The innovative dual-channel blade design integrates suction and insufflation directly into the blade, eliminating the need to remove the instrument for cleaning - a critical advantage when every second counts.

Solid IP Portfolio

The technology is protected by two granted US patents (US 12,201,276 and US 11,690,506) with protection through 2041-2043. European patent application (EP 21739800.7) is under examination, with additional applications in Korea, China, Canada, and Australia.

Expert Validation

World-renowned airway expert Professor Andre van Zundert has validated the technology in a published Letter to the Editor in Anesthesia & Analgesia, highlighting its potentially groundbreaking impact on emergency airway management.

"By addressing core technical limitations through integrated engineering solutions rather than external attachments, this approach may help establish videolaryngoscopy as the standard for first-line use in all intubations."
