BLECHMAN BLADE - AMERICAN PROFILE - Fiber Optic Illumination
This modification of the MacIntosh style blade is designed with the tip angled to further elevate the epiglottis in a supine patient. The tongue is swept to the left with the ability to tip the blade upward, with the handle between the teeth, while viewing from the right side. The viewing is further enhanced due to the modification of the flange by removal of the flange near the lock of the blade.
