Macintosh Laryngoscope Blade Conventional w/bulb 70mm, #1

Clinical Application

A compact curved blade designed to facilitate direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in neonatal and infant patients. The Macintosh curve is intended to be seated in the vallecula to indirectly lift the epiglottis and expose the glottic opening, aiding visualization during routine and emergency airway management in the OR, NICU, ED, and transport settings.

Design & Configuration

The short 70 mm Macintosh geometry provides an appropriate working length for small oral cavities while minimizing the risk of over-insertion. The curved profile offers an indirect lift of the epiglottis when positioned in the vallecula, which many clinicians prefer for predictable glottic exposure. An integrated bulb located near the distal portion of the blade delivers direct illumination of the pharynx and vocal cords, improving visual clarity during tube placement.
