Foregger (Wisconsin) Laryngoscope System

Description

Foregger (Wisconsin) Laryngoscope System

The Foregger Wisconsin laryngoscope is a straight-blade laryngoscope pattern. Clinicians use a laryngoscope to lift the tongue and view the larynx, for example during intubation or examination.

The Wisconsin blade

The Wisconsin design belongs to the straight-blade family. Richard Foregger, an American maker of anesthesia equipment, is linked with the pattern. Many anesthesia and ENT departments still stock it.

Sets or single blades

Six options exist here. The first two are complete sets, one holding four Wisconsin blades and one holding three. Then come single blades numbered 1 to 4.

Why buy single blades

Blades go missing or get damaged over time. So single blades let you replace one size without buying a full set. They also help when you need an extra blade of one size.

Choosing a set

The four-blade set covers the full size range we list. Meanwhile, the three-blade set suits teams that rarely use one size. Before ordering, ask us to list what each Wisconsin set contains.

Caring for your Foregger Wisconsin laryngoscope blades

Follow your hospital’s reprocessing rules for airway equipment. In general, clean the blade after each use and remove all visible residue. Then dry it and reprocess it according to its type.
