An applicator apparatus has a delivery tube with differently curved tube sections along the length of the delivery tube so as to be tailored for airway topicalization during video laryngoscopy. The apparatus aims to enhance the precision and effectiveness of airway topicalization, particularly in scenarios where conventional applicators encounter challenges due to the acute angle of the laryngoscope blade. By conforming to the shape of the video laryngoscope, a sigmoidal shape of the delivery tube facilitates precise targeting of glottic structures and the posterior pharynx. This innovation is particularly beneficial for short procedures requiring endotracheal intubation, as proper topicalization is known to reduce coughing and bucking on extubation, mitigating potential surgical complications and minimizing the aerosolization of respiratory particles and viruses.
