Macintosh Laryngoscope blade F/O, Fix/T 90mm, #2

Clinical Application

This curved Macintosh blade size 2 with a 90 mm working length is intended to facilitate indirect elevation of the epiglottis via vallecular placement for visualization of the glottic opening. Its clinical use is focused on orotracheal laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in pediatric patients and smaller adults where a shorter, curved blade provides an appropriate reach and view. The integrated fiber‑optic illumination improves visualization in anatomies where shadowing from the oral cavity may compromise line of sight.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature is designed to engage the vallecula, producing indirect lifting of the epiglottis to expose the vocal cords while minimizing direct soft‑tissue trauma. The 90 mm blade length reduces tongue and pharyngeal crowding in smaller airways and supports a more ergonomic insertion angle for the clinician. Integrated fiber‑optic illumination provides continuous, coaxial light transmission along the blade to enhance glottic visualization without relying solely on handle-mounted bulbs.
