The Propper Flip-Tip blade is a modification of the traditional MacIntosh blade designed to improve visualization of the larynx, and can assist in both non-complicated and difficult intubations. The instrument is especially suitable in situations of unpredictable airway conditions - in emergency rooms, ambulance service, etc. Manipulation with the Propper Flip-Tip laryngoscope does not require additional training and reduces risk of teeth breaking and laryngeal tissue injury. The Flip-Tip blade can simplify elevation of the epiglottis for the following conditions: - Spine or head trauma
- Reduced thyromental distance
- Short or immobilized neck
- Obesity
- Swollen tissue of the larynx
- Pregnancy
- Prominent upper teeth
- Poor mouth opening
- Enlarged tongue and its backward position
Features of the Propper Flip-Tip Laryngoscopes: - Anatomically designed to improve visibilty of the vocal chords
- Provide a precise control of the level to expose the epiglottis
- The blade tip is adjustable through 70°
- Blades are steam sterilizable with standard wrapped cycles
- Satin finished blade surface reduces light reflections
- Special shape channel to improve field of view
