Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O, 180mm, Fix/T #4

Clinical Application

This straight Miller blade provides direct elevation of the epiglottis to expose the glottic inlet during direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. The size #4 and 180 mm length make it appropriate for use in larger adult patients where a longer blade is required to reach the larynx. It is used in operating rooms, emergency departments, and procedural suites for routine and difficult airway management where direct visualization is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The Miller’s straight geometry is intended to lift the epiglottis directly rather than seating in the vallecula. This approach can improve glottic exposure in patients with anatomic variations or when a straight blade technique is favored by the operator. The fiber-optic illumination integrated along the blade enhances distal lighting and reduces shadowing, supporting a clearer line of sight during intubation attempts.

Instrument Specifications
