Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O, 170mm, Fix/T #3

Clinical Application

This straight Miller pattern blade is used for direct laryngoscopy to expose the glottic opening and facilitate orotracheal intubation. The straight profile is intended to directly lift the epiglottis rather than rely on placement in the vallecula, which can improve visualization in cases of a floppy or anteriorly positioned epiglottis. Integrated fiber‑optic illumination provides enhanced distal lighting to support visualization during tube placement.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry provides a narrow, rigid profile for precise control when elevating the epiglottis. The listed 170 mm length (size #3) offers intermediate reach suitable for many adult airway anatomies. A fixed (non‑detachable) Fix/T mounting provides a secure blade-to-handle interface, and the fiber‑optic (F/O) illumination channel delivers consistent distal light without reliance on a bulb at the blade tip, improving sight lines during laryngoscopy.

Material & Construction

Blade construction uses surgical‑grade stainless steel for strength and resistance to corrosion while allowing repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles. The fiber‑optic illumination is incorporated to deliver distal light transmission for improved visualization without a bulb at the blade tip. The fixed mounting offers a stable connection to the handle for reliable mechanical performance.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
