Miller-Baby Laryngoscope blade 180mm, #4

Clinical Application

This straight Miller-style blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy in pediatric airway management. The straight tip is used to lift the epiglottis directly, improving line-of-sight to the glottic opening during endotracheal intubation. It is commonly used by anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, and critical care teams for controlled intubation in infants and children where direct epiglottic elevation is preferred over a vallecular approach.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry provides a narrow distal profile that can be advanced beneath the epiglottis to expose the vocal cords without relying on vallecular positioning. The blade's length (180 mm) offers additional reach compared with shorter pediatric blades, while size #4 represents a larger pediatric sizing within the Miller/Baby family. The blade flange assists with tongue displacement and maintains a clear pathway for visualization and tube passage.
