Welch Allyn 69697 Fiber Optic Laryngoscope Set-E Mac

The Fiber Optic English MacIntosh Set features a powerful halogen HPX illumination. Light output is nearly three times more than the standard (lamp) set. The english macintosh set includes both of Welch Allyn’s cell battery lightweight handles and lightweight blades for maximum maneuverability.

Blades are manufactured from one piece stainless steel, and the handles of chrome-plated brass, to assure a lifetime of performance. Handles feature a knurled finish for a comfortable and secure grip. The English MacIntosh, blades are the most popular style of laryngoscope blade outside of the United States. The design differs in several aspects from the original Macintosh blade.

The curve of the English Macintosh is more continuous which improves the lifting mechanics. The overall length of the blades is longer in order to help assist intubation in patients with an anterior larynx. The height of the blade had been reduced for easier intubation in patients with limited oral access.

Robust Design
Welch Allyn’s laryngoscope design uses a single piece of 304-series stainless steel as its load-bearing member. This one-piece construction of the Welch Allyn blade is more robust than the typical competitive product. Furthermore, its one-piece blade construction eliminates the potentially weaker soldered or brazed joint.

Design Features
Welch Allyn’s innovative design incorporates an easy-to-remove light pipe that eliminates the difficult-to clean areas of most competitive laryngoscopes.

Removable Light Pipe
Another feature designed to help improve the cleaning of a Welch Allyn blade is its surface finish. Typical laryngoscope finishes have a surface roughness of 32¼ in. The surface finish used on all Welch Allyn blades has a roughness of just 8¼ in. This creates a surface texture that is approximately four times smoother than competitive blades, resulting in an easier-to-clean, stain-resistant laryngoscope blade. What’s more, the surface finish is not a plating, and therefore does not alter the 304-series stainless steel construction of the blade itself.

Brighter by Design
The Welch Allyn Halogen HPX™ lamp is the latest technology in gas-filled lamps. The lamp is more than 30% brighter and whiter than standard halogen lamps.
