Laryngoscope ( Macintosh & Miller )

Magill Laryneoscope

It consists of a straight metal attached to a metal handle.The blade is curved like a half cylinder,but flattened at the distal and where there is a bulb or illumination, the tip of the blade lifts the epiglottis forward from behind to expose the laryngeal opening.the laryngoscope should be introduced initially deep into the pharynx and then slowly withdrawn until the laryngeal opening comes into view.it is also advantageous when mouth opening is small and larynx is somewhat anterior.a long curved laryngoscope blade can be used as a straight blade by lifting the epiglottis directly. 1.Adult - Bright handle with 4nos.matt-finished blades. 2.child - Bright handle with 3nos.matt-finished blades. 3.Ped - Bright handle with 2nos.matt-finished blades.
