ABSTRACT:
Forceps with a pair of scissor-like arms that are pivotally connected to each other and that continue past the pivot to form a catheter guide. At least two and preferably three bends are disposed in the arms immediately before the pivot, which allow the medical professional to place the guiding end of the forceps in the correct place while maintaining good visual contact with the patient's vocal cords. An alternative embodiment provides a fourth bend near the guiding end of the forceps that allows for easier insertion of a catheter in some patients, such as children.
