Miller Laryngoscope blade F/O, Int/T 80mm, #1

Clinical Application

This straight Miller pattern blade size 1 is optimized for direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in neonates and small infants. The narrow, straight tip facilitates direct elevation of the epiglottis to expose the vocal cords when a curved blade would not provide adequate lift. It is suitable for use in operating rooms, NICU, and emergency airway management where a compact, precise pediatric blade is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry provides direct anterior lifting of the epiglottis rather than relying on indirect displacement of the tongue. The size 1 length (80 mm) balances reach with control in small oral cavities, reducing the likelihood of excessive force against delicate tissues. Integrated fiber-optic illumination routed within the blade delivers focused, shadow-reduced light to the oropharynx, improving visualization of glottic structures while maintaining a low-profile blade that is easy to position in neonatal and infant airways.
