Product Spotlight
The Macintosh series Laryngoscopes, designed by R. Macintosh in 1941, are the predominant choice of the curved blade types.
During laryngoscopy, the tip or “beak%XE2%X80? of the blade is compressed into the angle formed by the base of the tongue and the epiglottis (vallecula), indirectly raising the epiglottis.
The spatula of the blade has a smooth and gentle curve extending from the lock of the tip.
In cross section, the constructionresembles that of a reverse z flange, facilitating greater access during intubation.
