Guedel Neagus Laryngoscope blade F/O Int/T 72mm, #1

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy in neonatal and small infant patients, this size‑1 blade provides a short working length and narrow profile to facilitate atraumatic access to the oropharynx and visualization of the glottic opening during tracheal intubation. The integrated fiber‑optic illumination improves illumination of the laryngeal inlet without depending on external bulb alignment, helping clinicians obtain a clear view in confined pediatric airways.

Design & Configuration

The compact 72 mm length and slim geometry reduce tongue and soft‑tissue displacement in small mouths, minimizing stimulation and allowing more controlled blade placement. Internal fiber‑optic light transmission supplies focused, shadow‑reduced illumination along the blade’s distal portion, which aids visualization while maintaining a low-profile handle‑to‑blade assembly. The configuration is intended for use with compatible laryngoscope handles that accept fiber‑optic blades.
