Amer. Miller Conventional Laryngoscope blade 172mm, #3

Clinical Application

This straight Miller-pattern blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy where elevation of the epiglottis is required to expose the glottic opening and facilitate tracheal intubation. The size #3, 172 mm length provides reach appropriate for a range of pediatric and smaller adult airways where a straight blade technique is preferred to directly lift the epiglottis rather than relying on indirect visualization.

Design & Configuration

The Miller straight geometry provides a narrow profile and a flat, rigid surface that allows the clinician to engage and lift the epiglottis directly. This configuration can improve line-of-sight to the vocal cords in patients where a curved blade may not provide adequate exposure. The #3 size balances blade length and control for clinicians who require moderate reach without excessive blade bulk.
