Compatibility
Fits green-system handles
The blade conforms to ISO 7376, the international standard for laryngoscopes, and uses the fiber optic green-system fitting. It fits existing green-system handles made to ISO 7376: reusable handles or single-use handles, from us or from another maker.
It is not designed for conventional handles: a conventional blade carries a small lamp near its tip, while a green-system blade takes its light from a lamp or LED in the handle. Read ISO 7376 and the green system explained.
