Laryngeal Mirror w/handle 18mm, Fig.4

Clinical Application

Used for indirect laryngoscopy and diagnostic inspection of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx and vocal folds. The small 18 mm mirror head provides a focused field of view and is particularly useful when access is limited—such as in patients with a strong gag reflex, restricted mouth opening, or for pediatric examinations. Common uses include visualization of the anterior and posterior commissures, assessment of vocal cord mobility, and confirmation of airway anatomy during pre-operative evaluation or intraoperative checks.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a circular 18 mm mirror mounted on a single handle to facilitate one-handed positioning and fine angular adjustments. The compact diameter balances a sufficient field of view with minimal oropharyngeal crowding, improving patient tolerance and allowing the examiner to manipulate the tongue and soft tissues with the free hand. The handle gives tactile control for subtle angulation necessary to visualize the laryngeal structures indirectly.
