A laryngoscope is a fundamental airway management instrument used to visualise the larynx and vocal cords during intubation, diagnostic examinations, and emergency procedures. Modern designs typically feature a handle containing a light source and a detachable blade, available in both reusable stainless steel and single-use plastic variants.

Common applications include routine anaesthesia, critical care airway management, and otolaryngology examinations. When selecting a laryngoscope, consider blade type and size (Macintosh, Miller, or specialised designs), light source technology (fibre optic, LED, or standard bulb), and compatibility with video laryngoscopy systems. Ergonomic handle design and reliable illumination are critical for successful first-pass intubation.
