An accessory for laryngoscopy. An accessory for laryngoscopy that comprises
[a] a bar (7), having a first end and a second end,
[b] support means (13) at the first end of the bar (7) adapted to bear against a larynx of a patient (who has to be subjected to an examination or surgical operation on this zone),
[c] retaining means (15) adapted to attach the accessory to a second bar (39),
[d] length adjusting means (17) adapted to adjust the distance between the support means (13) and the retaining means (15). The accessory allows a downward pressure to be exerted in a continuous controlled way from outside of the neck on the laryngeal zone. In said way it becomes possible to move the larynx, which remarkably improves the exposure of the anterior commissure of the larynx and the adjacent area. |
