Clinical Application
This set provides the core Macintosh blade sizes used for direct laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation across a range of patients. The included size #2 (90 mm) is appropriate for smaller adults and adolescent/paediatric airways, while sizes #3 and #4 extend capability for standard and larger adult airway management. The blades enable indirect elevation of the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening for visualization, tube placement, suctioning, and airway instrumentation in anesthesia, emergency, and critical care settings.
Design & Configuration
The Macintosh curved geometry uses a gently arced blade that is advanced into the vallecula to lift the epiglottis indirectly, which facilitates a line-of-sight view of the vocal cords with minimal distal pressure. A set comprising sizes #2, #3 and #4 lets clinicians select the blade that best matches patient anatomy, improving first-pass success for intubation. Conventional illumination is provided via the handle-mounted light source, ensuring a focused light path along the blade for routine intubation and airway assessment.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Macintosh curved laryngoscope blades, conventional style
- Configuration: Set of 3 blades — sizes #2 (90 mm), #3, #4
- Blade pattern: Curved Macintosh for indirect epiglottis elevation
- Typical use: Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal tube placement
- Construction: Reusable stainless steel blades with conventional handle illumination
Material & Construction
Blades are manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel for durability, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. The conventional design relies on handle-mounted bulb illumination (non-fiber-optic) common to reusable laryngoscope systems. Components are designed for repeated cleaning and sterilization to support reusable instrument workflows in operating rooms and procedural suites.
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.
