Rigid intubation laryngoscope, reusable

Definition

A hand-held device intended to be used by anaesthesia/emergency service personnel 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 handle containing batteries to power its light (a small built-in light bulb or fibreoptic light) for airway illumination, and a curved or straight blade of various designs and lengths that can be hinged/interchanged or integral. Some types can be magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible. This is a reusable device.
