Sklar Fiber Optic Macintosh Laryngoscope Blade
An English style, size 3 fiber optic Macintosh laryngoscope blade used to visualise the airway during intubation, available in a range of sizes.
The Sklar Fiber Optic Macintosh Laryngoscope Blade is used during endotracheal intubation to lift the tongue and epiglottis out of the line of sight, giving the clinician a clear, illuminated view of the vocal cords so an endotracheal tube can be placed accurately. The Macintosh pattern is one of the most widely used curved laryngoscope blade shapes in anaesthesia and emergency airway management, and the fiber optic design carries light directly to the tip of the blade through an internal fiber bundle rather than relying solely on a bulb near the handle, giving a brighter, more even light at the working end.
5mm by 110mm, a size commonly used for adult patients of average build, and the listing covers fifteen size and style variants overall, letting a facility stock the range needed for different patient sizes. It is used by anaesthetists, emergency physicians and paramedical staff wherever endotracheal intubation is performed.
As a fiber optic instrument, it is designed for the repeated cleaning and sterilisation appropriate to reusable airway equipment.
