Verathon Medical and its employees wish to assist the affected population of the earthquake and tsumami in Japan.  For medical Disaster Relief Teams going to Japan, we can arrange for the loan of a GlideScope Ranger video laryngoscope.  Please see information provided below for details.

 GlideScope^® Ranger Loaner Program

Verathon Inc and Verathon Medical Canada (VMCA) recieve many requests for loan of the GlideScope® Ranger video laryngoscope for overseas volunteer/pro bono work.

Therefore:

1. Verathon Medical Canada has allocated GlideScope® Ranger instruments for short term loan for overseas volunteer/pro bono travel.
