ABSTRACT:
A laryngoscope handle forming part of an overall laryngoscope is disclosed herein having a hollow, elongated hand gripping portion designed to contain an electrical power supply, specifically batteries, within its interior. The handle also includes a blade connecting head portion disengagably connected to one end of the hand gripping portion and a number of passageways for accommodating a light source and electrical contacts which are necessary in the operation of the overall laryngoscope. The elongated hand gripping portion itself is sealed sufficient to prevent water from reaching its interior and damaging the power supply therein. One way of forming part of this seal is a particular arrangement including a printed circuit board for sealing the entire lower end of the blade connecting head portion including its multiple passageways so as to prevent any water entering the passageways from reaching the power supply containing the interior of the hand gripping portion. The printed circuit board itself also serves as a way of electrically connecting the light source assembly and electrical contacts within the passageways in circuit with the power supply.
