Clinical Application
Provides direct visualization of the glottic opening to facilitate orotracheal endotracheal intubation in adult and large adolescent patients. The size #3, 110 mm blade offers the reach and balance commonly requested for routine airway management in operating rooms, procedure suites, and emergency care settings. Integrated fiber‑optic illumination improves illumination of the vallecula and vocal cords compared with external light sources, helping clinicians obtain a faster, clearer view during induction and emergent intubation.
Design & Configuration
The Wisconsin‑Foregger pattern features a clinical blade profile and flange geometry intended to displace the tongue and optimize line‑of‑sight to the laryngeal inlet. The 110 mm length and size #3 balance oral reach with operator control, reducing the need for excessive force or manipulation. Internal fiber‑optic transmission minimizes shadowing and concentrates light along the blade surface, which is helpful in limited‑space or low‑ambient‑light scenarios. The blade is configured for use with compatible fiber‑optic laryngoscope handles to deliver consistent illumination at the distal edge.
Instrument Specifications

- Pattern / model: Wisconsin‑Foregger
- Configuration: Fiber‑optic (F/O) internal illumination; Int/T designation for intubation/tracheal use
- Size / length: Size #3, 110 mm
- Typical use: Direct laryngoscopy for orotracheal intubation (adult)

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated reprocessing. The blade incorporates a fiber‑optic illumination channel to transmit light from a mating FO handle to the distal blade edge, providing a clear, focused light field without reliance on a separate bulb in the blade. Designed for repeated sterilization and clinical use.
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.
