Overview for Welch Allyn 69696 Fiber Optic Macintosh Laryngoscope Set with Case
Fiber Optic Macintosh Laryngoscope Set with Case
The Fiber Optic MacIntosh set feature powerful halogen HPX illumination.
Light output is nearly three times more than the standard (lamp) set. The Macintosh set includes bothof Welch Allyn’s €œAA€ and €œC€ cell battery lightweight handles and lightweight blades for maximum maneuverability.
Blades are manufactured from one piece stainless steel, and the handles of chrome-plated brass, to assure a lifetime of performance. Handles feature a knurled finish for a comfortable and secure grip.
The Macintosh blades are the most popular of all curved-blade styles. The blade design incorporates a gentle, continuous curve from the tip to the proximal end. The curve is compressed into the vallecula and the blade lifted, indirectly raising the epiglottis.
The blade height assists in intubating patients with limited oral access.

Robust Design
Welch Allyn’s laryngoscope design uses a single piece of 304-series stainless steel as its load-bearing member.This one-piece construction of the Welch Allyn blade is more robust than the typical competitive product.Furthermore, its one-piece blade construction eliminates the potentially weaker soldered or brazed joint.
Design Features
Welch Allyn’s innovative design incorporates an easy-to-remove light pipe that eliminates the difficult-to clean areas of most competitive laryngoscopes.
Removable Light Pipe
Another feature designed to help improve the cleaning of a Welch Allyn blade is its surface finish. Typical laryngoscope finishes have a surface roughness of 32μ in. The surface finish used on all Welch Allyn blades has a roughness of just 8μ in. This creates a surface texture that is approximately four times smoother than competitive blades, resulting in an easier-to-clean, stain-resistant laryngoscope blade. What’s more, the surface finish is not a plating, and therefore does not alter the 304-series stainless steel construction of the blade itself.
Brighter by Design
The Welch Allyn Halogen HPX™ lamp is the latest technology in gas-filled lamps. The lamp is more than 30% brighter and whiter than standard halogen lamps.
More Value by Design
There are primarily two causes of reduced light transmission in fiber optic laryngoscopes: fiber optic breakage and epoxy blockage. Light degradation caused by fiber optic breakage will occur in varying degrees in any laryngoscope that is subjected to severe changes in temperature.
- When a fiber optic laryngoscope is steam-sterilized, the heat involved causes the epoxy (used to hold the fibers in place within the fiber optic bundle) to expand and extrude past the end of the light pipe.
- The epoxy cools following the autoclave process and hardens over the optics, blocking light emissions from those fibers. As more and more fibers are blocked, less and less light is emitted and the accuracy of the intubation process may be jeopardized.
FREE Polishing Service
Welch Allyn’s state-of-the-art blade design allows for the removable fiber optic light pipe to be repolished throughout the life of the blade. When the optics are repolished, occluding epoxy is removed from the input and output points of the fiber optic pipe. This restores the light transmission to its optimum level, thus increasing the overall life of the blade. A Welch Allyn light pipe can be repolished three times over its lifetime—and can then be replaced at a fraction of the cost of a complete blade.
Welch Allyn will provide this repolishing service free of cost whenever it is needed over the life of the laryngoscope blades.
