ABSTRACT:
A handheld penknife-like laryngoscope including a handle having an electrically insulating rigid plastic blade support section and a battery compartment section for housing a power source with a pair of opposite polarity terminals including a first terminal adjacent the blade support section and a second terminal remote therefrom, and an electrically conducting metal blade non-detachably pivotally hinged on the blade support section for manipulation from an inoperative storage position co-directional with the handle to an operative intubation position perpendicular thereto. The blade tapers towards a tip and has a light source there toward with a first electrode in electrical contact with the blade and a second electrode in electrical contact with the second terminal. The laryngoscope includes a blade retaining mechanism for securely retaining the blade in the intubation position whereupon the blade is in electrical contact with the first terminal for energizing the light source.
