Spare Insert for Guedel Laryngoscope F/O/I/T #4 135mm

Clinical Application

This spare insert is intended as a replacement blade element for Guedel-style illuminated laryngoscope assemblies used during airway management. Size #4 and a 135 mm length provide the working reach required for adult direct laryngoscopy to displace the tongue, expose the glottic opening, and facilitate endotracheal tube placement in the operating room, emergency department, ICU, and ambulatory surgery settings.

Design & Configuration

The insert is configured as a Guedel-pattern blade element with an integrated fiber-optic light channel (F/O). The combination of the Guedel profile and the fiber-optic illumination optimizes visualization of the vallecula and vocal cords while minimizing the need for separate light bulbs. As a spare insert, it allows rapid replacement of worn or damaged blades without replacing the entire laryngoscope assembly, supporting device readiness and reducing downtime.
