Amer. Macintosh Laryngoscope Conventionalblade 107mm, #3

Clinical Application

The Macintosh #3 conventional curved blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy and facilitation of orotracheal intubation in adult patients. The blade’s geometry is optimized to be placed in the vallecula to indirectly lift the epiglottis and expose the glottic opening, supporting visualization and passage of endotracheal tubes during anesthetic induction, emergency airway management, and routine operative procedures.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature and distal vallecula tip provide indirect epiglottis elevation rather than direct levering, reducing tissue trauma and improving line-of-sight for many operators. The size #3 and 107 mm blade length suit average adult oral anatomy, offering a balance between reach and maneuverability in confined oral cavities. The blade flange helps depress the tongue and maintain a clear central visual corridor during intubation.
