Spare Insert for Macintosh Laryngoscope F/O/I/T #2 78mm

Clinical Application

This spare insert restores the functional blade portion of a Macintosh size 2 laryngoscope to re-establish reliable illumination and the Macintosh curvature used to expose the laryngeal inlet. It is intended for use in direct laryngoscopy during routine and emergency airway management—supporting orotracheal intubation in settings such as the operating room, emergency department, ICU, and procedural suites where replacement of a damaged or worn insert avoids downtime or full instrument replacement.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature is designed to lift the epiglottis indirectly by seating in the vallecula, providing a line of sight to the glottic opening while minimizing tissue trauma. This spare insert includes a fiber-optic illumination channel to deliver consistent light along the blade flange, improving visualization of the posterior pharynx and vocal cords. Providing the insert as a replaceable component allows facilities to maintain instrument readiness and consistent blade geometry without discarding undamaged handles or housings.

Material & Construction
