Clinical Application
This blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy to visualize the glottic opening and facilitate placement of an endotracheal tube in adult patients requiring airway management. The size 4 length (135 mm) provides additional reach and exposure for larger adult anatomies and is suited to operating rooms, anesthesia environments, emergency departments, and critical care settings where reliable illumination and distal visualization are important.
Design & Configuration
The blade features an adult "#4" length profile that provides extended oral reach and optimized tongue displacement for improved line-of-sight to the larynx. Integrated fiber-optic illumination (F/O Int/T) transmits light along the blade to the distal field, offering uniform illumination at the laryngeal inlet without reliance on an exposed bulb at the tip. This internal light-transmission configuration reduces glare and shadowing and supports consistent visualization during intubation attempts.
Instrument Specifications
- Size: #4 (adult large)
- Overall blade length: 135 mm
- Illumination: fiber-optic, internal transmission (F/O Int/T)
- Intended use: direct laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation
- Reusable construction for repeated clinical use with appropriate sterilization
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and repeated sterilization cycles. Illumination is provided via integrated fiber-optic components routed through the blade (F/O Int/T), eliminating a fragile external bulb at the tip and delivering focused light to the distal airway.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
