Spare Insert for Macintosh Laryngoscope F/O/I/T #2 90mm

Clinical Application

This spare Macintosh #2 insert is intended as a replacement blade for standard Macintosh laryngoscopes used to facilitate direct laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation. The size and curvature provide the reach and geometry commonly used for smaller adult and pediatric airways. Keeping spare inserts on hand minimizes equipment downtime in operating rooms, emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, and ICU/procedural suites where rapid airway management is required.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curved profile is designed to engage the vallecula and lift the epiglottis indirectly, improving visualization of the glottic opening while minimizing trauma to soft tissues. This insert features an integrated fiber-optic light channel to transmit illumination from a compatible laryngoscope handle, producing a consistent, shadow-reduced light field along the blade—critical for reliable visualization during intubation. As a replaceable insert, it allows targeted maintenance or upgrade of illumination components without replacing the entire laryngoscope assembly.

Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction

The blade insert is manufactured in corrosion-resistant surgical-grade stainless steel with an integrated fiber-optic light channel for illumination. Surfaces are finished to support effective cleaning and sterilization between cases. The component is supplied for repeated use when processed according to facility sterilization protocols; inspect the fiber-optic channel for continuity and the blade locking interface for wear prior to use.
