MacIntosh Blades American Profile

Laryngoscopes With Conventional Illumination
AMERICAN PROFILE
The MacIntosh series laryngoscopes,designed by R. MacIntosh in 1941, are the predominant choice of the curved blade types. During laryngoscopy, the tip or “beak” of the blade is compressed into the angle formed by the base of the tongue and the epiglottis (vallecula), indirectly raising the epiglottis. The spatula of the blade has a smooth and gentle curve extending from the lock of the tip. In cross section, the construction resembles that of
a reverse Z flange, facilitating greater access during intubation. A wide variety of sizes are available. Made of stainless steel.

REDUCED FLANGE
E-MAC™
Patent # Des. 413.977
A modification of the English Profile blade by reducing the flange. This will enable the user to exert less force on the maxillary incisors while allowing more movement at the distal end to assist in visualizing the vocal cords. The added channel improves visualization of the cords and provides a guide through which an endotracheal tube may be inserted. Blades made of surgical stainless steel.
