A laryngoscope – also known as a laryngeal mirror – is a medical instrument that is used to view the upper respiratory tract and larynx. It consists of a handle and a curved blade with an integrated light conductor that is inserted into the patient’s mouth to help lift the epiglottis. This enables practitioners to accurately perform procedures, such as placing a breathing tube during endotracheal intubation.

Nowadays, the preferred way of performing laryngoscopy is with a video system, such as the HEINE visionPRO video laryngoscope[1]. A Mac 3[2] or Mac 4[3] blade is generally used for this. A more curved blade – the HEINE visionPRO HyMac 3 single-use blade[4] – is also available should the anatomical conditions require it.
