MILLER AMERIKANISCH Laryngo Spatulas fig 3

Miller American Laryngoscope Spatulas, Figure 3

Miller American laryngoscope spatulas in Figure 3 are straight-blade instruments designed for direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics across the United States. The Miller blade profile features a straight, low-profile spatula that lifts the epiglottis directly, giving clinicians a clear view of the glottis in routine and difficult airway scenarios. Figure 3 sizing supports neonatal and pediatric patients as well as selected adult cases where a shorter blade is preferred. These spatulas are intended for use with compatible laryngoscope handles and are supplied as individual replacement blades for departmental stocking and routine airway management.
