Laryngoscope Macintosh Conventional Blade # 1

Laryngoscope Macintosh Conventional Blade #1

The Laryngoscope Macintosh Conventional Blade #1 is a curved, single-use or reusable blade designed for direct laryngoscopy in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics. Its Macintosh curve follows the vallecula to lift the epiglottis and open the airway for endotracheal intubation. The #1 size is intended for smaller adult and larger pediatric patients, giving clinicians a reliable option when a full-size blade is too large. Conventional construction supports consistent illumination when paired with a compatible handle, and the familiar shape helps providers with Macintosh technique intubate confidently and efficiently.

• Endotracheal intubation in the operating room for adult and pediatric patients
• Emergency airway management in ambulatory surgery centers and clinics

• Inspect the blade before each use for cracks, chips, or debris and discard if damaged.
• Store in a clean, dry location protected from impact and contamination.
• Verify compatibility with the laryngoscope handle before use.
