Amer.Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O Fix/T 55mm, #0

Clinical Application

This straight Miller blade is configured to provide direct epiglottic lift for improved visualization of the glottic opening in neonatal and small infant airways. Size #0 with a 55 mm blade length is intended for use in the smallest pediatric patients during elective and emergency airway management—operating rooms, emergency departments, NICUs, and ambulatory surgery settings. Fiber-optic illumination along the blade enhances visualization in low-light or anatomically challenging intubations, supporting faster and more confident placement of endotracheal tubes.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry is designed to lift the epiglottis directly rather than relying on indirect displacement, which can be advantageous in neonates and young infants whose epiglottis is relatively floppy or anterior. A 55 mm blade length provides appropriate reach for small pediatric anatomy while minimizing tongue and oropharyngeal crowding. The F/O designation denotes integrated fiber-optic illumination to deliver consistent light along the blade edge; the Fix/T designation indicates the blade’s fixed fiber-optic configuration as supplied. Together, the blade shape and illumination improve line-of-sight to the glottis and reduce reliance on external light maneuvers during intubation.
