Amer.Macintosh Laryngoscopeblade F/O Int/T 123mm #3.5

Clinical Application

This Macintosh-style blade is configured for direct laryngoscopy to facilitate visualization of the glottic opening and placement of an endotracheal tube. Its curved profile is used to engage the vallecula and indirectly elevate the epiglottis during orotracheal intubation, making it suitable for routine airway management in operating rooms, anesthesia practice, emergency departments, and procedural suites. The 123 mm length in a #3.5 size is intended to provide appropriate reach and view for adult patients with typical airway anatomy.

Design & Configuration

The classic Macintosh curvature is designed to position the blade tip in the vallecula so the epiglottis can be lifted indirectly, reducing the need for direct epiglottic manipulation and minimizing soft-tissue trauma. The blade geometry and length balance intraoral access and line-of-sight for the operator, while a smooth, contoured flange aids atraumatic insertion and tongue displacement. Integrated fiber-optic illumination provides consistent light transmission along the blade length to improve visualization of the laryngeal inlet compared with non-illuminated blades.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Macintosh curved laryngoscope blade
• Size / length: #3.5 — 123 mm
