Inventor of the McMurray Enhanced Airway (MEA) and Co-Founder of McMurray Medical Group, LLC
McMurray Medical is passionate about improving healthcare through innovation. McMurray Medical co-founded by Roxanne McMurray, DNP, CRNA, APRN, Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, and providing anesthesia for over 25 years. Being a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) has provided insight into needed tools to enhance patient outcomes, improve practice, and decrease operational costs. McMurray Medical was founded based on Roxanne's desire to bring a novel and much needed modern solution to airway management. Existing airway devices have shortcomings and reveal adverse effects leading to emerging workarounds for airway management. There is a growing need for an airway device that can sufficiently open the obstructed airway and improve patient outcomes. New solutions for airway management are surfacing; however, an upfront investment is typically needed to make these solutions viable along with multiple steps to place the device before the airway can be opened. The goal of the McMurray Enhanced Airway (MEA) is to provide an easy, simple, fast, and effective solution to open the upper obstructive airway to improve patient outcomes. To use the multifunction MEA, open, place, and go. The MEA length providers a "hands-off' approach freeing up providers' hands to tend to other tasks and provide social distancing. The MEA connector allows for attachment to a manual resuscitator or anesthesia circuit to allow intraoral ventilation, which also reduces aerosol particle transmission. The MEA fills a void in airway management to reduce airway workarounds and minimize preventable liability risks. Breathing is an essential part of life, and time is the essence. Keep your patients breathing and your staff safe with the easy-to-use McMurray Enhanced Airway.
