Flexible Tip F/O Laryngoscope blade Mac#4 133mm

Clinical Application

Provides a standard Macintosh curved approach for orotracheal intubation in adult patients where a size 4 blade is indicated. The flexible distal tip permits controlled adjustment of the blade's distal curvature to optimize glottic exposure in anterior airways or when standard manipulation does not provide an adequate view. Fiber-optic illumination delivers distal lighting to reduce shadows and improve visualization of the vocal cords during laryngoscopy. Typical clinical settings include operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, and ambulatory surgery centers.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curved geometry is designed to sit in the vallecula and lift the epiglottis indirectly to expose the glottis. A controlled, flexible distal tip allows clinicians to fine-tune the angle at the tip without excessive force on the tongue or teeth, which can improve view in difficult anatomy and reduce the need for repeated repositioning. The integrated fiber-optic light channel transmits illumination to the blade's distal region, helping to illuminate the laryngeal inlet and minimize blind spots during intubation.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Laryngoscope blade (Macintosh)
• Model / pattern: Mac #4
• Configuration: Flexible distal tip with fiber-optic illumination
• Length: 133 mm
• Tip geometry: Curved Macintosh blade designed for vallecular placement
• Intended use: Orotracheal intubation and glottic visualization in adult patients

Material & Construction

Constructed from medical-grade stainless steel with a smooth, polished finish to facilitate atraumatic tissue contact and efficient reprocessing. The fiber-optic bundle is embedded or integrated to deliver distal illumination; wiring or light-routing components are sealed within the blade to protect optical elements during handling and sterilization. Designed for reusable use with appropriate cleaning and sterilization protocols.

Quality & Compliance

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