Wisconsin Laryngoscope blade F/O, Fix/T 137mm, #4

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation in larger or adult patients, this Wisconsin pattern blade provides the reach and profile needed to displace the tongue and expose the glottic opening during airway management. The fiber‑optic illumination improves distal visualization compared with non‑illuminated blades and is useful in operating rooms, emergency departments, and intensive care settings where reliable, concentrated light at the blade tip aids intubation attempts.

Design & Configuration

The blade's Wisconsin pattern combines a low‑profile working surface with a length appropriate for adult anatomy (137 mm, size #4), facilitating insertion and tongue displacement while minimizing interference with endotracheal tube passage. Fiber‑optic (F/O) illumination provides consistent light transmission along the blade without relying on a disposable bulb at the handle, and the Fix/T designation denotes the blade's specified fixed configuration for secure engagement with compatible handles.
