Clinical Application
This straight Wisconsin-pattern blade is configured for direct laryngoscopy to facilitate visualization of the vocal cords and placement of an endotracheal tube. The size #2, 90 mm blade is intended for use in pediatric and small-adult airways where a shorter, straight profile provides reliable epiglottic elevation and a direct line of sight to the glottis. Common clinical settings include operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, and ambulatory surgery centers performing routine and urgent airway management.
Design & Configuration
The Wisconsin straight geometry provides controlled lifting of the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening rather than relying on a curved sweeping motion. Integrated fiber optic illumination (F/O) delivers focused light along the blade to reduce shadows and improve visualization in narrow airways. The Fix/T designation indicates a fixed attachment configuration that maintains a stable light pathway without a removable light channel, simplifying setup and reducing potential points of failure during intubation procedures. The 90 mm blade length balances reach with minimal intraoral profile for small patients.
