Amer.Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O Fix/T 132mm, #2

Clinical Application

This straight (Miller) blade is configured for direct laryngoscopy and facilitates lifting of the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening. Size #2 with a 132 mm working length is commonly selected for pediatric and small-adult airway management where a shorter, rigid blade provides controlled elevation of the epiglottis and direct line-of-sight for endotracheal intubation. The integrated fiber-optic illumination improves visualization in the oropharynx, reducing shadowing and facilitating faster, more reliable tube placement during routine, emergency, or anesthetic airway procedures.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry transmits lifting force to the epiglottis rather than relying on indirect displacement, which can be advantageous in infants, young children, and patients with a floppy epiglottis. The 132 mm length balances reach with maneuverability in smaller airways. Integrated fiber-optic illumination provides continuous, diffuse light along the blade edge to enhance glottic visualization without relying on a separate bulb in the handle. The Fix/T designation denotes a fixed terminal/attachment interface that provides a stable mechanical connection to compatible handles and minimizes play during laryngoscopy.
