A light source is carried by the handle, and structure is provided to place that power supply in electrical energy transmitting relation with that light source to direct light into transmitting means carried by the blade. The blade is insertible into a patient's mouth to illuminate the throat area. Sealing structure is provided between the terminal light source and handle to block access of external fluid into the hollow handle proximate the light source whether or not the blade is attached to the handle, and when the handle is submerged in fluid.
