Miller-Baby Laryngoscope blade 55mm, #0

Clinical Application

Designed for direct laryngoscopy in neonates and small infants, this Miller-Baby #0 blade provides a short, narrow working length suitable for direct elevation of the epiglottis during airway assessment and endotracheal intubation. Common uses include routine neonatal intubation, resuscitation, difficult-airway evaluation in pediatrics, and intraoperative pediatric airway management where direct line-of-sight visualization of the glottis is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight Miller geometry is intended to lift the epiglottis directly rather than relying on indirect exposure. The 55 mm working length and narrow profile reduce the risk of oropharyngeal crowding in small mouths and help preserve a clear line of sight to the vocal cords. The short blade minimizes distal placement within the airway, lowering the potential for soft-tissue trauma while allowing secure placement of an endotracheal tube. The flange and blade contour are configured to displace the tongue and create a working channel for tube passage during direct laryngoscopy.
