Oklahoma City-based developer of single-use laryngoscopes and bougies for adult and pediatric airway management.
Adroit Surgical, LLC is a privately held medical device company based in Oklahoma City. Its company profile dates its founding to 2010. The commercial portfolio centers on the Vie Scope adult laryngoscope, the pediatric bébé Vie, and straight and coiled Voir Bougie introducers for airway management.
Founded by head and neck surgeon Nilesh Vasan, the company focuses on direct line-of-sight visualization and bougie-assisted intubation. Its materials address EMS, emergency medicine, anesthesia, ENT and military users. Manufacturer announcements document adoption activity, but total hospital deployments, unit sales and revenue have not been independently established.
Published evaluation includes a randomized patient trial in anticipated difficult airways. That 58-patient study reported noninferior laryngeal visualization versus videolaryngoscopy, but longer intubation time and four accidental esophageal intubations in the Vie Scope group. These results do not establish universal clinical superiority, and expert review of the evidence remains outstanding.
The four reviewed device listings identify premarket-submission exemption. Vie Scope and bébé Vie are listed under CCW; straight and Tactical Voir Bougie under KCD. FDA classifies both codes as Class I and 510(k)-exempt, subject to applicable exemption limitations. These listings are not FDA clearances or approvals. [8][13][14][9][10][11][6][1][24]
No matching FDA recall event was identified in the completed company/applicant, linked-identifier and product-name searches. [26][27]
