Macintosh Laryngoscope blade F/O, Fix/T 108mm, #3

Clinical Application

This curved blade is intended for direct laryngoscopy to facilitate orotracheal intubation in adult patients. Size #3 (108 mm) is the standard medium adult dimension used across routine anesthesia inductions, emergency airway management, and procedures requiring controlled visualization of the glottic opening. The blade is suited for operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, intensive care units, and emergency departments where reliable, repeatable visualization of the larynx is required.

Design & Configuration

The Macintosh curvature is designed for vallecula placement to indirectly lift the epiglottis and expose the vocal cords with minimal soft-tissue trauma. Integrated fiber-optic (FO) illumination provides a continuous light channel along the blade profile for even, focused illumination of the oropharynx and glottis, reducing shadowing and improving the line of sight during intubation. The blade geometry and FO illumination combine to support rapid visualization and controlled tube placement in routine and time-sensitive airway procedures.
