Amer. Miller Conventional Laryngoscope blade 80mm, #1

Clinical Application

The straight Miller blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy to visualize the glottic opening by directly lifting the epiglottis. Size #1 (80 mm) is commonly used for neonates and young infants or small pediatric airways where a narrow, straight profile provides better control and visualization. The blade facilitates oral tracheal intubation, emergency airway management, and routine pediatric anesthetic airway exams.

Design & Configuration

The conventional Miller straight geometry places the tip beneath the epiglottis for direct elevation rather than relying on indirect tongue displacement. The narrow, straight profile reduces obstruction in small oral cavities and allows precise control of tip placement in anterior or high epiglottic anatomies. The size #1 length balances reach and maneuverability for neonatal and young infant anatomy.
