From Battlefield to Breakthrough: How Intublade is Changing Airway Management


Listen Later

Gurus, get ready for an incredible conversation! Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Andrew Napier, CEO and founder of Intublade. His journey is nothing short of amazing—from being a battlefield medic in Afghanistan to an emergency physician, and now a MedTech entrepreneur shaking up airway management.

Dr. Napier saw firsthand the challenges of intubation in high-pressure situations, and instead of waiting for someone else to fix the problem, he built the solution himself. His innovation is transforming emergency care, making airway management faster, safer, and more reliable.

Dr Napier and I get into;

  • How to Innovate Under Pressure – Discover how Dr. Napier’s battlefield experience shaped his approach to problem-solving in MedTech.
  • Turning a Big Idea into Reality – Hear the real talk on overcoming FDA hurdles, securing funding, and getting a new medical device into hospitals and EMS units.
  • Why Collaboration is Key – Learn how breaking down silos between engineers, clinicians, and sales teams leads to better products and faster adoption.

You won’t want to miss this one—Dr. Napier’s energy, insights, and no-nonsense approach to innovation will leave you inspired. Let’s dive in!
