ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a teeth protector for a laryngoscope blade which protector comprises at least one cushioning device of deformable material deformed around at least one selected surface of the laryngoscope blade and adapted to retain a deformed shape and having a self-adhering surface character adapted to adhere to when pressed upon the selected surfaces which surfaces correspond to surfaces which would contact a patient's teeth if the at least one cushioning device were not used. The teeth protector is adaptable for use with virtually all laryngoscope blade styles. A cushioning device comprising beeswax is particularly useful in the teeth protector.
