Clinical Application
This spare insert is a replacement straight (Miller) blade component intended for direct laryngoscopy to expose the glottic opening and facilitate endotracheal intubation. The straight blade geometry provides direct lifting of the epiglottis, which is useful in situations where epiglottic control is required to visualize the vocal cords during airway management.
Design & Configuration
The insert is a size #3 Miller pattern with a 170 mm overall length. As a fiber-optic-equipped insert, it includes an integrated light channel to deliver illumination at the distal tip, improving visualization in the oropharynx. The straight blade profile and atraumatic tip are intended to allow controlled elevation of the epiglottis while minimizing soft-tissue trauma. The modular insert format enables rapid replacement of the blade element without replacing the entire laryngoscope assembly.
