Wisc. Foregger Laryngoscope blade F/O Int/T 71mm, #1

Clinical Application

This straight Wisconsin-pattern blade is sized for pediatric airway management. Its 71 mm, size #1 geometry is intended to provide controlled direct laryngoscopy in infants and small children for endotracheal intubation, airway assessment, and routine OR or emergency airway procedures where a small, low‑profile blade is required.

Design & Configuration

The Wisconsin (Foregger) straight blade profile permits direct elevation of the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening, which is advantageous in pediatric patients whose epiglottis tends to be relatively floppy and anterior. The fiber optic (F/O) internal illumination delivers consistent, focused light along the blade length while keeping the blade profile slim—helpful in limited oral aperture or small mouths. A 71 mm length is intended to reach the infant glottis without excessive blade insertion.
