Standard Laryngoscopes
Standard laryngoscopes carry a small bulb in the blade and are powered by batteries in the handle. They are simple, reliable and economical, and they remain the standard in many hospitals, clinics and training centres. Medfort supplies complete sets and single blades in Macintosh and Miller patterns (codes SI-012701 to SI-012721).
Where they are used
They are used for routine and emergency intubation in theatres, ICUs, emergency departments, labour wards, ambulances and training centres.
Our range
- Miller sets and blades: Fig. 0 (babies) to Fig. 4 (adults)
- Macintosh sets and blades: including the baby set
- Battery handles
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
Macintosh curved blades suit most adults and older children. Miller straight blades are often preferred for neonates and infants. A baby set covers the smallest patients. Keep a spare bulb and batteries with every set.
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.
Building a complete airway kit
Most hospitals keep laryngoscopes in several places: theatres, ICU, the emergency department, labour ward and ambulances. Each location needs a working handle, a full range of blade sizes, spare batteries and spare lamps. Tell us how many locations you are equipping and the patients you treat, and we will suggest the handles, blades and sets you need. Keeping one system across the hospital means any blade fits any handle.
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.
Ordering and custom sizes
You can order single instruments, mixed quantities or complete sets, and we supply hospitals, clinics, distributors and government tenders. If you need a pattern, length or size that is not listed, send us a drawing, a sample or a catalogue reference and we will quote for it. We also offer OEM and private label manufacturing, with your logo laser-etched on the instrument and your own packaging. Please contact us for prices, delivery times and shipping to your country.
