UNSPSC 42272004 Intubation stylets is a Commodity code that covers handheld devices and accessories used to guide endotracheal tube placement during airway management in clinical and emergency medical settings. State and local governments acquire intubation stylets and related airway management equipment through direct purchases and cooperative contracting vehicles as part of medical supply procurement for hospital systems, emergency departments, fire departments, and trauma centers. The sourcing typically includes both durable equipment (handheld video laryngoscopes and visualization devices) and consumable accessories (endotracheal tubes, stylet replacements, and related disposables). Issuing bodies include state health departments, county hospital systems and specialty centers, municipal fire and rescue divisions, and independent school districts operating career technical education and health sciences programs.
