Abstract
A laryngoscope has a handle including an electromagnetic coil, and a blade, and one or more electrical components including at least one of a light emitting diode (LED) and/or an image sensor. The one or more electrical components are operatively connected to be powered by electrical current induced in the electromagnetic coil by near field magnetic induction. A laryngoscope system includes the laryngoscope and a radio frequency (RF) power generator configured to induce the electrical current in the electromagnetic coil of the laryngoscope. The RF power generator may include a transmitting coil resonant at the same RF frequency as the electromagnetic coil of the laryngoscope. In a direct observation laryngoscope embodiment, the one or more electrical components includes the LED. In a video laryngoscope embodiment, the one or more electrical components includes the image sensor and a radio transmitter to transmit video acquired by the image sensor.
