MILLER laryngoscope spatula fig 4

Miller Laryngoscope Spatula, Figure 4

The Miller laryngoscope spatula in Figure 4 is a straight-blade instrument designed for direct visualization of the glottis during intubation, particularly in pediatric and neonatal patients. Its straight design allows for lifting the epiglottis without placing pressure on the vallecula, which can be advantageous when a curved blade is less effective. Figure 4 denotes a specific blade size within the Miller series, and this spatula is intended for use with compatible laryngoscope handles in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinical settings. Constructed for durability and repeated sterilization, it supports routine airway management workflows where precise control and visibility are essential.

• Pediatric and neonatal intubation where a straight blade is preferred
• Direct lifting of the epiglottis to visualize the glottis
• Airway management in operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers
• Emergency intubation in clinical settings
• Training and simulation for straight-blade technique

• Clean and sterilize before first use and between patients according to facility protocols
• Inspect blade for damage or wear before each use
• Store in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination
