Flexible Tip F/O Laryngoscope blade Mac#5 set

Clinical Application

This flexible-tip, fiber-optic Macintosh size 5 blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation in adult patients. The Mac curvature is designed to sit in the vallecula to facilitate indirect elevation of the epiglottis, while the flexible distal tip provides controlled deflection at the blade tip to optimize glottic exposure in situations where minor tip manipulation can improve visualization. The combination of a larger size #5 blade and distal illumination supports routine operating room, ambulatory surgery center, and emergency airway management use for adult patients with larger oral cavities or when improved line-of-sight is needed.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature provides the standard anatomic relationship for indirect lifting of the epiglottis; a size 5 offers additional reach and surface area for adult airways. The integrated flexible distal tip allows the clinician to make small adjustments to the blade tip position without applying excessive force to the tongue, teeth, or cervical spine—helpful in patients with limited neck extension or when gentle tissue handling is preferred. Fiber-optic illumination routed to the distal edge of the blade provides bright, focused lighting along the line of view to reduce shadowing at the glottic inlet. The blade is supplied as a set and is intended to be used with compatible fiber-optic laryngoscope handles that provide light source coupling and power.

Material & Construction

Constructed in durable stainless steel for repeated clinical use. Fiber-optic light fibers are integrated to deliver illumination to the distal blade edge, improving visualization during intubation. Junctions and the flexible tip mechanism are engineered for clinical durability and repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles; the product is intended to be reprocessed according to facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

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