Macintosh LED Fibre-Optic Laryngoscope — Flexible Tip, Single Blade (No. 1)
A Macintosh laryngoscope designed for clear visualisation of the larynx during endotracheal intubation. The integrated fibre optic guide channels bright, cool LED light directly to the distal end, illuminating the airway without heat transfer. A flexible, hinged tip provides additional control to lift the epiglottis, improving the view of the vocal cords.
Crafted from surgical stainless steel, the handle and blade are built for resilience and can be fully sterilised via autoclave. This instrument is CE marked, confirming its compliance with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards for medical devices.
Primarily used by anaesthetists, paramedics, and emergency medicine clinicians for airway management and intubation procedures in both routine and difficult airway scenarios.
