Clinical Application
Designed for direct laryngoscopy and facilitation of endotracheal intubation in neonates and small infants. The short, size #1 blade profile helps expose the glottic opening within a limited oral and pharyngeal space, supporting visualization during routine and difficult pediatric airway management, suction-assisted clearance, and assisted ventilation procedures.
Design & Configuration
The blade incorporates an integrated fiber-optic illumination channel (F/O Fix) to deliver bright, focused light to the distal blade region, improving visualization of the vocal cords while minimizing shadowing. The 72 mm working length offers a balance between reach and control for small airways, and the anatomical blade geometry is shaped to facilitate gentle displacement of the tongue and epiglottis without excessive tissue compression.
