ABSTRACT:
A laryngoscope is disclosed herein and includes a handle and a separate disposable blade which is designed to incorporate a number of specific features. One of these features resides in the way in which the blade is disengagably connected to its associated handle for the first time so as to damage a component of the blade sufficient to discourage its use a second time, but without preventing it from being used in the proper way the first time. In accordance with another feature, the blade includes an integrally formed main body which defines an open ended passageway for containing a light guide. This passageway is configured to define the arc of a circle so that the blade body including this passageway can be manufactured by means of an uncomplicated molding process.
