Overview
About this product
Intended use
Used to view the larynx and vocal cords and to assist tracheal intubation, by trained healthcare professionals in anaesthesia, emergency and critical care.
Reusable stainless steel, made to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilisation.
Available sizes, article numbers and packing quantities are confirmed with every quotation. Private-label and OEM versions can be produced on request.
- How it works
- Special blades are made in the green-system or the conventional version, to match the handles your department already uses. In the green system the light source sits in the handle and reaches the tip through a fiber-optic bundle; in the conventional system a lamp on the blade takes power from the handle through the fitting.
- The Macintosh pattern
- A curved blade. The tip goes into the vallecula, in front of the epiglottis, and lifting the blade raises the epiglottis indirectly to bring the vocal cords into view. It is the pattern most used for adult intubation. Profile (American profile) describes the blade's curve and flange; most departments standardise on one, so we match the profile you already use.
- Where it is used
- Operating theatres, anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency departments with validated reprocessing, where the device is reprocessed after each patient and stays in service for many cycles.
- What to tell us when you order
- The pattern and sizes you need, quantities per size, the handle system your department uses, and whether the blade and packaging should carry your brand.
