ABSTRACT:
A parallel laryngoscope with an access opening in the connecting member between the blade and the handle that permits manipulation of the tongue and avoids pressure on the lower teeth during intubation. The connecting member is removably connected to the handle in the conventional "hook-on" type manner, and the same hook-on connection may be provided between the connecting member and the blade. Due to the conventional connectors, the components of this improved laryngoscope can be assembled quickly and is used in the conventional manner. No additional training of personnel is necessary. Moreover, the components are completely interchangeable and can be disassembled for convenient storage.
