About the American Profile MacIntosh Blade Size 3 (Medium Adult)
This MacIntosh size 3 blade places in the vallecula to indirectly lift the epiglottis during adult intubation. The curved design provides better visualization of the vocal cords compared to straight Miller blades, particularly in patients with anterior larynx anatomy.
The smooth spatula surface reduces tissue trauma during insertion and manipulation. Worth noting: the flange ends short of the distal tip, giving you cleaner access in tight spaces without catching on teeth or oral structures during difficult airways.
The reverse Z flange cross-section adds structural strength while maintaining the low profile needed for restricted mouth opening. Conventional bulb illumination works with standard handles, and you can upgrade to fiber optic when better light transmission matters.
Key Features
- Curved MacIntosh blade profile for indirect epiglottis elevation
- Smooth, gently curved spatula extending from the lock of the tip
