Amer.Macintosh Laryngoscopeblade F/O Int/T 107mm, #3

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy to facilitate endotracheal tube placement and visualization of the glottis during airway management. The Macintosh #3 is commonly used for adult patients and is suitable for use in operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, and ambulatory surgery centers. The integrated fiber-optic illumination provides bright distal lighting to assist with rapid and reliable identification of vocal cords during orotracheal intubation.

Design & Configuration

The curved Macintosh geometry is intended to be positioned in the vallecula to lift the epiglottis indirectly, producing an improved line-of-sight to the glottic opening. At 107 mm length, this #3 blade provides a mid-range shaft appropriate for the average adult airway—balancing reach and control without excessive bulk. The internal fiber-optic channel transmits light to the blade tip, delivering focused illumination that reduces shadows along the laryngoscopic view and supports faster visualization compared with non-illuminated blades. The rounded distal profile minimizes soft-tissue trauma during insertion and manipulation.
