Wisconsin Laryngoscope blade F/O, Fix/T 110mm, #3

Clinical Application

This Wisconsin-pattern blade is used to displace the tongue and expose the glottic opening for direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. The size #3, 110 mm length provides the reach typically required for adult airway management in the operating room, emergency department, intensive care unit, and procedural suites. Integrated fiber-optic illumination improves visualization along the blade length to reduce shadows and facilitate faster identification of airway landmarks during routine and urgent intubations.

Design & Configuration

The straight, flattened spatula geometry of the Wisconsin blade is designed to lift and compress the tongue rather than directly lift the epiglottis, providing a broad view of the vallecula and glottis. The 110 mm length balances reach and control for typical adult anatomy. Fiber-optic illumination (F/O, Fix/T) is integrated along the blade to deliver a focused, consistent light field without reliance on a single bulb tip, improving line-of-sight during placement. Smooth, atraumatic edges and a low-profile cross-section minimize soft-tissue compression and assist in tube passage.
