Macintosh Laryngoscope Conventional set/3 #1,2(78mm)and3

Clinical Application

This conventional Macintosh blade set provides the core blade sizes needed for direct laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation across a range of patient anatomies. The curved Macintosh geometry is used to displace the tongue and lift the epiglottis indirectly to expose the vocal cords for endotracheal tube placement. Having sizes #1, #2 and #3 in a single set enables clinicians to select an appropriately sized blade for infants/small children through adults, improving first-attempt intubation rates and reducing airway trauma from repeatedly changing blades.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curve is designed to follow the posterior aspect of the tongue and engage the vallecula to lift the epiglottis indirectly. This configuration provides a wide line of sight to the glottic opening while minimizing direct contact with the epiglottis. The set format ensures rapid size selection during induction or airway rescue scenarios. These are conventional (non–fiber optic) blades intended for use with standard reusable laryngoscope handles, providing a familiar handling profile for most anesthesia and emergency teams.

Instrument Specifications

• Set composition: 3 Macintosh curved blades — sizes #1, #2 (78 mm), and #3
• Blade pattern: Macintosh (curved) for vallecular placement and indirect epiglottis elevation
• Typical use: Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation
• Construction: Reusable stainless steel blades (conventional, non–fiber optic)

Material & Construction

Blades are manufactured in surgical-grade stainless steel and finished for durability and reprocessing. The robust reusable construction withstands routine cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization cycles typically used in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. The smooth surfaces and joints are designed for effective cleaning and inspection between uses.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
