MK Airway: Innovating for Difficult Airways

After treating a particularly difficult patient, Donn Marciniak, MD, a cardiac anesthesiologist with interest in complex airway management, realized the idea for a superior intubation technology. Taking the best parts of pre-existing airway management devices, Dr. Marciniak pieced together an intubating airway prototype at his kitchen table with co-inventor and fellow cardiac anesthesiologist, Erik Kraenzler, MD. This prototype would go on to become the MK Airway, manufactured by P3 Medical.
