Macintosh Laryngoscope blade F/O Int/T 90mm #2

Clinical Application

This curved Macintosh blade is sized and shaped for routine direct laryngoscopy to visualize the glottic opening and facilitate orotracheal intubation. At size #2 and 90 mm length it is commonly selected for pediatric patients and smaller adults where a shorter, curved blade provides optimal reach and control. Typical clinical settings include the operating room, emergency departments, intensive care units and procedural suites where reliable visualization during airway management is required.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature is designed to seat in the vallecula and indirectly lift the epiglottis, producing a working view of the vocal cords with minimal soft-tissue distortion. The 90 mm blade length and size #2 profile balance reach and maneuverability for smaller airways. Integrated fiber-optic illumination runs along the blade to deliver focused light at the tip and reduce shadows in the hypopharynx, improving the line of sight during tube placement. A smooth, atraumatic tip and polished finish minimize tissue snagging and ease insertion.
