Guedel Neagus Laryngoscope blade F/O Fix/T 135mm #4

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy during airway management, this size #4 blade provides extended reach for visualization of the glottic inlet in larger adult patients or when additional length is required. Integrated fiber-optic illumination improves illumination of the vallecula and glottic opening, aiding orotracheal intubation by reducing mucosal shadowing and enhancing line-of-sight for the operator. Common clinical settings include general anesthesia induction, emergency airway management, and procedures in ENT or critical care where a robust reusable blade is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The blade combines a clinical-length profile with an integrated fiber-optic light channel to deliver concentrated distal illumination without reliance on an external bulb at the blade tip. The Fix/T designation indicates a fixed-type attachment for a secure connection to the handle assembly, minimizing play at the junction and preserving consistent light transmission. The blade geometry is configured to displace the tongue and expose the laryngeal inlet while allowing common laryngoscope technique (lifting the epiglottis or placing in the vallecula) according to clinician preference.
