Amer.Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O Fix/T 172mm, #3

Clinical Application

This straight Miller-pattern blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy to expose the glottic inlet and facilitate orotracheal intubation. The straight tip design allows the clinician to lift or directly control the epiglottis for a clear line-of-sight to the vocal cords. Size #3 and the 172 mm length are commonly used for adult patients and larger pediatric/young-adult anatomy where a straight blade geometry is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The Miller straight blade geometry provides direct epiglottic elevation rather than relying on indirect vallecular lifting used by curved blades. Integrated fiber optic illumination (F/O) runs along the blade to deliver consistent, shadow-minimizing light to the oral cavity and glottis, improving visualization during intubation. The Fix/T designation indicates a fixed attachment configuration for secure engagement with compatible laryngoscope handles, reducing unwanted movement during airway manipulation. The 172 mm length balances reach with maneuverability for effective placement in adult airways.
