Dr. MacIntosh in 1943 originated a new blade design that forever impacted the field of anesthesiology.Currently the most popular of all curved-blade styles, the MacIntosh blade has survived virtually unchanged since its conception. The earlier blades helped to inspire the MacIntosh blade, a design that incorporates a gentle, continuous curve from the tip to the proximal end. The curve is compressed into the vallecula and the blade lifted, indirectly raising the epiglottis. Welch Allyn recently modified the MacIntosh blades by reducing proximal blade height. Thisresults in a lower profile that assists in intubating patients with limited oral access. The Standard (Lamp) MacIntosh Laryngoscope Blade is available in four sizes: Size 1. Size 2. Size 3. Size 4. Select a size from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of this page. Robust Design. Welch 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. Its one-piece blade construction eliminates the potentially weaker soldered or brazed joint. Furthermore the reduced handle and blade weight improve balance and maneuverability, enabling even the most difficult intubations, while the lower proximal blade height aids intubation in patients with limited oral access. Design Features. Welch Allyn’s innovative design incorporates an easy-to-remove light pipe that eliminates the difficult-to clean areas of most competitive laryngoscopes. Removable Light Pipe. An
