Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O, Int/T 45mm, #00

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy in neonates and very small infants, this straight Miller pattern blade provides a short working length and fine control for lifting the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening. It is intended for orotracheal intubation in neonatal resuscitation, operating room airway management, and ICU procedures where a compact blade minimizes oral and pharyngeal crowding. The short 45 mm blade profile reduces the risk of deep insertion and posterior pharyngeal trauma in small airways.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry permits direct elevation of the epiglottis rather than relying on indirect tongue displacement, which can improve visualization in neonates whose epiglottis is relatively floppy and anterior. The #00 size with a 45 mm blade length is tailored for preterm and term neonates with limited oral cavity space. Integrated fiber optic illumination provides continuous light along the blade, reducing shadows and improving view of the laryngeal inlet compared with single-point bulb illumination. The compact profile also facilitates use in confined working spaces and during rapid sequence intubation of small patients.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Miller straight blade
• Size: #00
• Blade length: 45 mm
• Illumination: Fiber optic (F/O) light transmission
• Intended use: Neonatal direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation
• Construction: Reusable stainless steel with fiber optic light channel

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel for durability and repeated sterilization cycles. The fiber optic illumination is incorporated to deliver consistent, shadow-reduced lighting along the blade edge. Reusable construction is intended for standard decontamination and sterilization workflows; fiber optic elements should be handled and cleaned according to recommended protocols to preserve light transmission.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
