Sklar Fiber Optic Macintosh Laryngoscope Set
A complete, battery powered fiber optic Macintosh laryngoscope set with a handle and blade sizes 1 through 4, ready for endotracheal intubation.
The Sklar Fiber Optic Macintosh Laryngoscope Set is a complete kit combining a battery powered handle with a full range of Macintosh blade sizes, from size 1 through size 4, giving a facility the equipment needed to intubate patients of different ages and body sizes without purchasing the handle and each blade size separately.
The Macintosh blade pattern lifts the tongue and epiglottis clear of the airway, and the fiber optic design carries light directly to the blade tip through an internal fiber bundle, providing a brighter and more consistent light source at the working end than a bulb mounted lower on the blade. Being battery powered, the handle does not require a mains power source or a separate light source unit, which suits use in emergency departments, ambulances and operating theatres where equipment needs to be self-contained and ready at short notice.
It is used by anaesthetists, emergency physicians and paramedical staff wherever endotracheal intubation is performed. As reusable equipment, the set is designed for the repeated cleaning and sterilisation appropriate to airway instruments.
