MACINTOSH AMERIKANISCH Laryn spatula fig 4

Macintosh American Laryngoscope Spatula, Figure 4

The Macintosh American laryngoscope spatula in Figure 4 is a curved-blade instrument designed for direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics. Its American-style fitting connects to compatible laryngoscope handles, and the Figure 4 size provides a longer curved profile suited to adult patients with larger anatomy or those requiring additional reach. The spatula's smooth, curved contour follows the natural line of the vallecula to lift the epiglottis and open the airway with controlled force. Built for routine and challenging airway management, it supports clear visualization of the glottis during intubation and is a practical addition to any difficult-airway cart or anesthesia setup.

• Direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation in adult patients
• Airway management in operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers
• Difficult-airway scenarios requiring a longer curved blade
• Routine anesthesia induction and emergency airway rescue
• Clinical training and simulation for intubation technique

• Clean and sterilize before first use and between patients according to facility protocols.
• Inspect the blade surface and light connection for damage before each procedure.
• Store in a clean, dry environment to protect the finish and fitting.
• Follow manufacturer instructions for compatible sterilization methods.

For use by trained healthcare professionals only. Confirm compatibility with your laryngoscope handle before use.
