Clinical Application
This straight Miller blade is sized for neonates and small infants (Size #0) and is indicated for direct laryngoscopy to facilitate endotracheal intubation and airway management in pediatric anesthesia and emergency care. The straight tip geometry is designed to lift the epiglottis directly rather than relying on a tongue-curving technique, improving glottic exposure in patients with anterior or floppy epiglottis anatomy.
Design & Configuration
The straight Miller profile provides a low, narrow blade footprint for insertion into small oral and oropharyngeal cavities while minimizing soft-tissue displacement. A 55 mm blade length balances reach and control for neonates and premature infants. Integrated fiber optic illumination (F/O) delivers a focused light source along the blade to improve visualization of the glottic inlet without increasing blade bulk.
