MACINTOSH BLADE, STANDARD, AMERICAN, ADULT, SIZE 3.5

Macintosh Blade, Standard American Adult Size 3.5

The Macintosh Blade, Standard American Adult Size 3.5, is a critical component for direct laryngoscopy procedures in modern healthcare settings. Designed specifically for adult patients, this blade features the classic curved geometry that allows for indirect visualization of the glottis by lifting the epiglottis. Its standard American configuration ensures compatibility with widely used laryngoscope handles found in operating rooms and emergency departments across the United States. Constructed from durable, high-grade materials, it provides reliable performance during intubation and airway management tasks. This essential tool supports clinicians in maintaining clear airways during routine surgeries, emergency resuscitations, and complex anesthesia inductions.

• Routine endotracheal intubation in operating rooms
• Emergency airway management in trauma centers
• Anesthesia induction and maintenance procedures
• Direct visualization of the larynx for diagnostic purposes

• Inspect the blade surface for scratches or deformation before each use to ensure optimal light transmission and patient safety.
• Clean thoroughly according to facility protocols using approved disinfectants compatible with stainless steel or coated metal surfaces.
• Store in a protective case or rack to prevent damage to the flange and tip when not in active clinical use.

Always verify compatibility with your specific laryngoscope handle model and follow institutional sterilization guidelines.
