Guedel-Negus Laryngoscope System

Description

Guedel-Negus Laryngoscope System

The Guedel-Negus laryngoscope is a blade system for viewing the larynx. Anesthesiologists and ENT surgeons use laryngoscopes to lift the tongue and see the vocal cords.

A named combination

Arthur Guedel was an American anesthesiologist, and Victor Negus was a British laryngologist. Their names appear together on this pattern. It sits in the traditional group of reusable metal laryngoscopes.

Blade lengths

We list single blades of 70, 90, 110 and 175 mm. So you can pick lengths to suit different patients. The shortest and longest differ by more than 10 cm.

Six ways to order

Buyers can take a full kit of four Guedel-Negus blades or a kit of three. Otherwise, any one of the four lengths ships alone. So six options exist in total.

Planning your stock

Departments that see all ages often keep the four-blade set. However, a unit with a narrower patient range may prefer three blades plus spares. Contact us to confirm set contents before you order.

Caring for your Guedel-Negus blades

Clean the blades promptly after use, following your unit’s airway equipment protocol. Also check for any damage to the working surface. Dry and reprocess each blade before storing it.
