Spare Insert for Macintosh Laryngoscope F/O/I/T #5 150mm

Clinical Application

This spare insert is a replacement illumination component for a Macintosh size 5 laryngoscope blade. It restores or upgrades the blade's light delivery to support direct laryngoscopy during orotracheal intubation in operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, and procedural suites. Size #5 is intended for adult/large airway anatomy and is commonly used when a wider, longer curved blade is required for visualization of the glottis.

Design & Configuration

The insert provides a protected fiber optic light channel routed along the curvature of the Macintosh blade to deliver concentrated illumination to the vallecula and glottic opening. Replacing a worn or damaged insert preserves the original blade geometry and cutting profile important for tongue displacement and line-of-sight to the vocal cords. The 150 mm length corresponds to the larger blade footprint of a #5 pattern, ensuring the insert reaches the intended distal illumination point without altering the blade's handling characteristics.
