The english macintosh set includes both of Welch Allyn’s \"AA\" and \"C\" cell battery lightweight handles and lightweight blades for maximum maneuverability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlades are manufactured from one piece stainless steel, and the handles of chrome-plated brass, to assure a lifetime of performance. Handles feature a knurled finish for a comfortable and secure grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe English Macintosh, blades are the most popular style of laryngoscope blade outside of the United States. The design differs in several aspects from the original Macintosh blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curve of the English Macintosh is more continuous which improves the lifting mechanics. The overall length of the blades is longer in order to help assist intubation in patients with an anterior larynx. The height of the blade had been reduced for easier intubation in patients with limited oral access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded is Fiber Optic English Macintosh Laryngoscope Set Model:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e69697- Fiber Optic English MacIntosh Set Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiber Optic English Blades #1, 2, 3, 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5 V Medium Handle uses C Cell Batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5 V Penlight Handle uses AA Batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e05791-U Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobust Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelch Allyn’s laryngoscope design uses a single piece of 304-series stainless steel as its load-bearing member. This one-piece construction of the Welch Allyn blade is more robust than the typical competitive product. Furthermore, its one-piece blade construction eliminates the potentially weaker soldered or brazed joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelch Allyn’s innovative design incorporates an easy-to-remove light pipe that eliminates the difficult-to clean areas of most competitive laryngoscopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable Light Pipe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother feature designed to help improve the cleaning of a Welch Allyn blade is its surface finish. Typical laryngoscope finishes have a surface roughness of 32μ in. The surface finish used on all Welch Allyn blades has a roughness of just 8μ in. This creates a surface texture that is approximately four times smoother than competitive blades, resulting in an easier-to-clean, stain-resistant laryngoscope blade. What’s more, the surface finish is not a plating, and therefore does not alter the 304-series stainless steel construction of the blade itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrighter by Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Welch Allyn features either the standard Halogen HPX lamp, or the LED lamp.

Light degradation caused by fiber optic breakage will occur in varying degrees in any laryngoscope that is subjected to severe changes in temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen a fiber optic laryngoscope is steam-sterilized, the heat involved causes the epoxy (used to hold the fibers in place within the fiber optic bundle) to expand and extrude past the end of the light pipe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe epoxy cools following the autoclave process and hardens over the optics, blocking light emissions from those fibers. As more and more fibers are blocked, less and less light is emitted and the accuracy of the intubation process may be jeopardized.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFREE Polishing Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelch Allyn’s state-of-the-art blade design allows for the removable fiber optic light pipe to be repolished throughout the life of the blade. When the optics are repolished, occluding epoxy is removed from the input and output points of the fiber optic pipe. This restores the light transmission to its optimum level, thus increasing the overall life of the blade. A Welch Allyn light pipe can be repolished three times over its lifetime—and can then be replaced at a fraction of the cost of a complete blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelch Allyn will provide this repolishing service free of cost whenever it is needed over the life of the laryngoscope blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpgradable and Repairable by Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removable fiber optic design truly makes Welch Allyn blades the smart choice for you. That’s because this unique design makes our blades the most affordable way to upgrade from standard to fiber optic lighting—while still offering the benefits of one-piece blade construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo upgrade to fiber optics, simply replace your current, standard lamp light pipe with the fiber optic pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiber Optic Light Pipes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelch Allyn fiber optic light pipes for laryngoscopes are guaranteed for five years against complete loss of performance. Therefore, during the first five years, Welch Allyn will polish or replace the fiber optic light pipe, free of charge, if performance is reduced due to repeated sterilization by steam autoclave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWelch Allyn Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelch Allyn laryngoscope blades and handles are guaranteed against all manufacturing defects for the life of the instrument.
