Guedel Neagus Laryngoscope blade F/O Fix/T 111mm #3

Clinical Application

Size #3 and 111 mm working length make this blade suitable for routine adult airway management where direct laryngoscopy is indicated. The integrated fiber optic illumination improves visualization of the oropharynx and glottic opening during endotracheal tube placement, reducing reliance on separate external light sources. This configuration is used in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and emergency airway settings for primary intubation and for situations where reliable blade illumination is required.

Design & Configuration

The blade’s geometry is designed to displace the tongue and create a direct line of sight to the glottis when used in conventional direct laryngoscopy technique. The F/O (fiber optic) illumination provides a continuous, focused light transmission along the blade, improving mucosal contrast and minimizing shadowing in the oropharynx. The Fix/T designation indicates a fixed fiber assembly, which reduces moving optical connections and simplifies setup.
