Laryngoscope - Compare and Buy

Find and buy Laryngoscopes from verified suppliers on MedicalSearch. Laryngoscopes are used to examine the back part of a patient’s throat including the larynx.

Factors to consider when buying a Laryngoscope:

• Type of Blade - laryngoscope blades come in two different types: curved and straight. While both aid in the visualization of a patient’s airway, opt for a curved blade for intubation in adults and a straight blade for use in children.
• Size of Blade - Laryngoscope blades vary greatly in sizes, with 00 as the smallest and ideal for pediatrics while the largest being size 4. However, your patient’s age should help you choose the right blade size for the intubating procedure.
• Disposable or reusable - Disposable handles and blades are more economically attractive and offer enhanced productivity than reusable ones. They are also best for use on-the-go, on code carts, and when handling highly infectious cases.
• Type of handle - Choose a handle that you can use with different types of blades for different age groups. For added flexibility and convenience, consider a 1 in 4 handle, allowing you to use it for adults, teenager, children, and neonate patients. The handle should also be ergonomically designed to offer a comfortable, secure grip.
• Size of handle - The common handle sizes include, standard, short, and penlight handles. Short handles work best for patients with short necks, large breasts, and barrel chests. If you’ll be mostly dealing with smaller blades, you might want to choose penlight handles due to their thinner diameters.
