The segment of a laryngoscope (i.e., rigid intubation type) intended to be inserted into the oral cavity to manipulate the tongue, preventing it from obstructing the oropharynx and enabling a clear view of the trachea for the insertion of an endotracheal (ET) tube prior to the delivery of inhalation anaesthesia and/or ventilation. It has a pivoted, flexible-tip typically operated through a mechanism activated by a trigger on the laryngoscope handle, which allows the operator to elevate the epiglottis and thus facilitate intubation. Illumination of the airway is provided by a small built-in light bulb or a fibreoptic light. This is a reusable device.
