A universal modular glottiscope system includes a set of differently dimensioned elongate tubular elements (110) for insertion into a patient's larynx for laryngoscopic procedures or intubation. Each tubular element (110) has a substantially triangular cross section distally defined by a substantially planar base (106) and two curved sides (110) which intersect at an apex line (112) and may have varying curvature between the apex line (112) and the base (106). A distal end opening (102) is defined by an intersection of the cross section with an imaginary plane at a selected angle to the longitudinal direction of the tubular element. At the proximal end of each tubular element, which is D-shaped in configuration and wider than the distal end, is provided a pair of opposed end slots (118, 120) intermediate the apex line (112) and the base (106). The planar base (106) is detachable. Above the slots (118, 120), adjacent the proximal end of each tubular element, is a standardized handle-attachment fitting (104). A surgeon using the system may inspect the patient and, based on measurements and/or experience, select the most suitable elongate tubular element (110) from the set and manually attach a standardized handle element (126, 132) thereto at the standardized handle-attachment (104) thereof.
