Fiber Optic Laryngoscopes, Green System
Medfort fiber optic laryngoscopes carry light from a lamp in the handle to the blade tip through a sealed fiber bundle. There is no bulb or electrical contact in the blade, so the light is brighter and cooler and the blade is easier to clean. The system is made to the green system standard and comes in a full choice of blade patterns and sizes (codes DG-0201 to DG-02101).
Where they are used
Fiber optic laryngoscopes are used for routine and emergency intubation in operating theatres, ICUs, emergency departments and neonatal units. Many hospitals are moving to fiber optic systems because the blades are more hygienic and the light is better.

Material and finish
Blades and handles are made from stainless steel and chrome plated brass. Fiber optic blades carry the light through a sealed glass fiber bundle, so there is no bulb in the blade. Conventional blades carry a small bulb near the tip. Both are made to the standard hook-on fitting.
How to choose
If you already use green system handles, our fiber optic blades can be added to your stock. LED handles give a white, long-lasting light, while Xenon gives a bright, warm light. The MacFlex blade, with its lever-controlled tip, is a useful addition for difficult airways. Mega Line blades have a larger fiber bundle for extra brightness.
Quality control
Every blade and handle is checked for light output, a secure blade-to-handle connection, and a smooth, polished finish. Fiber optic bundles are inspected for even light. Sets are checked to make sure every blade, handle and spare lamp is included.
Care and sterilization
Take the batteries out of the handle before cleaning. Blades can be washed and steam sterilized. Wipe and disinfect handles according to your hospital policy. Check the light and the blade connection before every use.

Frequently asked questions
Is the fiber bundle sealed? Yes. The fiber bundle is sealed into the blade, so it can be washed and steam sterilized.
