Spare Insert for Amer. Mac. Laryngoscope F/O/I/T #2 86mm

Clinical Application

This spare insert provides the working blade component for an American‑pattern Macintosh laryngoscope and is used during direct laryngoscopy to expose the glottic opening for endotracheal intubation. The size #2 (86 mm) is intended for pediatric patients and smaller adult airways where a shorter, curved blade facilitates indirect elevation of the epiglottis and visualization of the vocal cords. As a replacement insert, it supports rapid field service and minimizes instrument downtime in ORs, ambulatory surgery centers, and emergency departments.

Design & Configuration

The curved Macintosh geometry is designed to follow the tongue and vallecula, enabling indirect elevation of the epiglottis to improve lines of sight to the larynx. The insert form fits into a compatible American‑style Macintosh blade head, maintaining the correct blade-to-handle alignment and working length (86 mm) for size #2 applications. Integrated fiber‑optic accommodation maintains illumination across the blade edge, which is critical for glottic visualization in less accessible pediatric airways. The spare insert format allows replacement without replacing the entire laryngoscope assembly.
