Guide the Tube. Protect the Airway.
Designed for use with any laryngoscope, the Tactical Bougie® enhances intubation across all clinical settings with clarity, control, and safety at every step.
Colour-coded bands give clinicians clear depth control. The green safety zone signals correct positioning, while the red band provides an unmistakable stop point to help prevent pulmonary injury from over-insertion.
Safety Markers for Precision
Ready for High-Stakes Environments
The Tactical Bougie® is designed to support airway access in urgent clinical situations. It provides reliable guidance for intubation during emergencies, trauma care, and critical transport.
This bougie can be used with direct and video laryngoscopes. It enhances visibility and control across a wide range of airway management tools used by trained clinicians.
Compatible with All Laryngoscopes
Individually packaged and single-use — reduces infection risk and is always field-ready.
Ready-To-Go
Supports the widely taught bougie-guided method for intubation, ensuring it can be adopted quickly by trained clinicians across anaesthesia, emergency, and critical care.
Trusted Clinical Technique
Coudé Tip for Easy Navigation
The angled tip helps guide the bougie through challenging airways when visualisation is limited.

Precision you can count on.
Clear, colour-coded depth markers are printed directly onto the Tactical Bougie® to assist with precise and repeatable placement during intubation. The green safety zone indicates the optimal insertion depth once it passes the upper teeth or gums, while the red stop marker serves as a hard visual cue to avoid over-insertion into the trachea. These markers reduce uncertainty in fast-paced environments like trauma bays, ambulances, or combat care, allowing trained clinicians to act quickly with greater confidence — even under poor lighting or suboptimal visual conditions.
Visual Markings for Safer Intubation
The Tactical Bougie® is designed to support the standard bougie-guided intubation approach used by trained clinicians in emergency, anaesthesia, and critical care. Its coudé tip allows for directional control through the vocal cords, while the clearly marked colour bands assist with visual confirmation of insertion depth. This method aligns with recognised airway management protocols, making the Tactical Bougie® a dependable tool in both routine and complex intubations. Its design complements the clinician’s skill — enabling efficient, controlled tube placement in high-pressure scenarios.
