Lame Miller de fibre optique 205 mm grand adulte

Reference DI 01-20-06: Lame Miller de fibre optique 205 mm grand adulte, supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

The Miller laryngoscope blade — developed by American anaesthetist Robert A. Miller in 1941 — is the straight blade used primarily for paediatric and difficult-airway intubation. Where Macintosh’s curved tip sits in the vallecula and indirectly lifts the epiglottis, the Miller’s straight blade is placed directly under the epiglottis and lifts it forward. This direct technique provides better laryngeal exposure in infants (whose epiglottis is large and floppy) and in difficult adult intubations where the Macintosh fails. Miller blades are manufactured in sizes 0 (neonatal) through 4 (large adult), with sizes 0, 1, and 2 most used in paediatric anaesthesia.

Sialkot has been the world’s primary cluster for surgical-instrument manufacturing since the late nineteenth century, when local steel workshops began supplying instruments to British military and civilian hospitals. Fizza Surgical’s facility continues that tradition, combining workshop craftsmanship with the metallurgy and quality systems modern medical regulation requires. Fizza products are exhibited at international medical-device trade fairs in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
