Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O, 45mm, Fix/T #00

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy in neonates and very small infants, this straight (Miller) blade provides direct elevation of the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening for passage of an endotracheal tube. The #00 size and 45 mm blade length suit premature and term neonates with a small oral cavity and short tongue-to-glottis distance. Typical clinical settings include NICU, pediatric anesthesia, neonatal transport, and emergency airway management in newborns.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry permits direct lifting of the epiglottis rather than reliance on indirect displacement, which can improve visualization in very small airways. The compact 45 mm blade length minimizes soft-tissue intrusion in the oral cavity while preserving the working channel for tube passage. Integrated fiber-optic illumination delivers focused light along the blade profile to improve distal visualization without relying on a bulb at the blade tip. The Fix/T designation indicates a fixed-style attachment intended to provide stable coupling to a compatible handle during manipulation.

Material & Construction

The blade is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel with a smooth, contoured profile to reduce soft-tissue snagging and facilitate cleaning. Illumination is provided by integrated fiber-optic components routed within the blade to deliver consistent distal light without an exposed tip bulb.
