Flexible Tip F/O Laryngoscope blade Mac#3 set

Clinical Application

Macintosh size 3 blades with an articulating distal tip and fiber-optic illumination are intended for oral laryngoscopy during orotracheal intubation. The curved Mac geometry enables indirect elevation of the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening, while the flexible tip allows focused adjustment of the blade tip to improve visualization in patients with anterior larynges or limited neck mobility. These blades are used across operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, emergency departments and intensive care units for routine and difficult airway management.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature positions the flange to lift the epiglottis indirectly, which is the standard approach for many adult intubations. A flexible, articulating distal tip provides fine control of the blade tip without excessive levering or repeated repositioning, helping to reduce soft-tissue trauma and the need for adjunctive maneuvers. Integrated fiber-optic illumination delivers bright light to the distal tip for improved glottic visualization compared with handle-only illumination. The set format supports clinician preference and inventory needs in perioperative and acute-care settings.

Instrument Specifications

• Intended use: Orotracheal intubation and airway management
• Blade size: Macintosh #3
• Configuration: Flexible/articulating distal tip
• Illumination: Fiber-optic (F/O) light transmission to distal tip
• Profile: Curved Macintosh (Mac) blade
• Construction: Reusable stainless steel with fiber-optic components

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and repeated sterilization cycles. The blade incorporates a fiber-optic light channel to transmit illumination to the distal tip and is designed for reusable clinical workflows. Articulating tip mechanisms are engineered to maintain a low-profile, atraumatic distal edge to minimize mucosal injury during intubation.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
