An intubating device is provided for use with an endotracheal tube. In some embodiments, the intubating device includes a sheath having a distal end and a proximal end, and the sheath is configured to be introduced into a body cavity. The sheath has a rigid section, and the sheath has a flexible section at the distal end. The flexible section is selectively bendable. A control housing is located at the proximal end. The control housing includes a deflector for selectively bending the flexible section of the sheath.
