MACINTOSH laryngoscope spatula fig 2

MACINTOSH Laryngoscope Spatula, Figure 2

The MACINTOSH laryngoscope spatula in Figure 2 is a curved-blade instrument designed for direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics. Its gently curved profile follows the vallecula to lift the epiglottis and open the glottic view, supporting routine and difficult airway management. The Figure 2 size is a versatile mid-range option that fits many adult patients, making it a practical addition to airway carts and intubation trays. Built for compatibility with standard MACINTOSH handles, this spatula supports efficient setup, consistent technique, and reliable performance during induction and emergency airway procedures.

• Direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in adult patients
