| 摘要 |
The invention is directed to a laryngoscope blade which has a tip at the distal end thereof which is capable of being bent or flexed in the direction of the handle of the laryngoscope. Operable means are provided, preferably at the proximal end of the blade, to bend or flex the tip. When the blade is inserted into a patient's throat so that the bendable tip is located at the base of the patient's epiglottis, the operable means of the bendable tip can be actuated so the tip will bend and thereby further lift the patient's epiglottis in order to expose the patient's larynx. The laryngoscope blade is particularly suitable to the few patients in which the usual laryngoscopic procedures do not adequately expose the patient's larynx.
