Spare Insert for Guedel Laryngoscope F/O/I/T #3 111mm

Clinical Application

This spare blade insert is designed to restore the light-transmitting surface and working geometry of a Guedel laryngoscope size 3 assembly. By replacing a damaged or worn insert, clinicians re-establish reliable illumination and blade integrity for direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in adult patients. Ideal for operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, and ambulatory surgery centers where rapid replacement of a single component reduces instrument downtime and preserves sterile instrument sets.

Design & Configuration

The insert provides the length and seating profile required for a size 3 laryngoscope blade assembly. The 111 mm working length is appropriate for adult airway approaches, allowing visualization of the glottic opening while minimizing soft-tissue obstruction. A correctly fitting insert ensures alignment of the fiber optic light channel with the handle light source, secure retention during manipulations, and a smooth, low-profile leading edge to reduce mucosal trauma during blade insertion and repositioning.
