Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O, 80mm, Fix/T #1

Clinical Application

The Miller straight blade is optimized for direct laryngoscopy in neonates and small infants where direct elevation of the epiglottis is required to expose the glottic opening. The size 1, 80 mm length provides an appropriate working profile for neonatal and young infant airways. Integrated fiber-optic illumination improves visualization of the laryngeal inlet during intubation, facilitating faster tube placement in operating rooms, emergency departments, NICUs, and ambulatory surgical settings.

Design & Configuration

Straight blade geometry is used to directly lift the epiglottis rather than relying on indirect visualization; this is particularly helpful in pediatric airways where the epiglottis is floppy and more anterior. The blade’s slim profile and short 80 mm length reduce tongue displacement and allow closer control in small oral cavities. The Fix/T designation indicates a fixed terminal-style blade configuration with integrated fiber-optic illumination routed along the blade to provide consistent, shadow-reducing light at the tip.

Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and resistance to repeated clinical reprocessing. Fiber-optic illumination is integrated into the blade to deliver focused light to the distal tip without relying on a handle bulb.
