Single Use Laryngoscope Blade Set
Web referenceTGI-C-F0B3A57CQuote this to us. It identifies this page, not a factory part number.
Also called Direct Laryngoscope
A cased set of single use blades with a handle, rather than one instrument on its own, the blades seated by size in a fitted case.
A laryngoscope for direct laryngoscopy is two parts, a handle and a blade, joined at a hook on fitting set out in ISO 7376 so a blade can be changed without changing the handle. The handle is a cylindrical grip holding the batteries, and on a fiber optic handle the lamp as well. The blade is made in two shapes: curved, the Macintosh pattern, placed in front of the epiglottis, and straight, the Miller pattern, passed under it, each in a numbered size series. Light comes either from a lamp mounted in the blade near the tip, which ISO 7376-1 covers, or through a fiber bundle from a lamp in the handle, which ISO 7376-3 covers and the trade calls the green system; the two fittings do not interchange. It is most often confused with a laryngoscope set, which is one handle sold with a range of blades in a case, and with a flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope, a different instrument that is not rigid and is used to examine the larynx in an awake patient.

How it is built
- Two parts: a reusable handle and a separate blade that detaches from it
- Blade and handle join at the hook on fitting set out in ISO 7376, part 1 for the lamp in the blade and part 3 for the fiber optic green system
- Curved blade, the Macintosh pattern, and straight blade, the Miller pattern, are the two base shapes, each made in a numbered size series
- Conventional illumination puts the lamp in the blade near the tip; fiber optic illumination puts it in the handle and carries the light down a bundle to the tip
- Levering tip blades, the McCoy pattern, hinge the last part of the blade on a lever worked from the handle, usually on a curved blade body
- Blades are made reusable in metal and single use in metal or molded plastic
- Handles are made in more than one size: a standard handle taking a C cell, a small handle taking an AA cell, and a stubby or short handle taking an AA cell in a shortened body for working in a confined space
- Handles run on disposable alkaline cells or on a rechargeable pack

The standard sizes this kind of instrument is made in
Macintosh curved blades are made in a numbered series running No. 0 for an infant to No. 5 for an extra large adult, with No. 3 the size most widely stocked · Macintosh No. 5 was found published only as a fiber optic blade in the catalogs read · Miller straight blades are made in a numbered series running No. 00 for a premature newborn to No. 4 for a large adult · Miller No. 4 is made both with the lamp in the blade and as a fiber optic blade, so it is not a fiber optic only size · Handles: a standard handle on a C cell, a small handle on an AA cell, and a stubby or short handle on an AA cell · NO BLADE LENGTH IN MILLIMETERS IS PUBLISHED HERE. Catalogs give different lengths for the same numbered size, by as much as 18 mm on a No. 3, and they measure from three different points, the overall length, the length from the inside of the base to the tip, and the working length. The size number is what a blade is ordered by; a millimeter figure would have to name one maker and one way of measuring, and would then not be a fact about the trade
These are the sizes the pattern is manufactured in across the trade. They are not a stock list. Tell us the size you need and we will quote against it.

True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
