single use are made from robust Makrolon plastic. Blades are sold in
bundles of 20pcs, and each blade is individually packed in a plastic
zipper bag which is perforated for quick and easy opening.

plug-in powered LED handles, for use both with reusable and
disposable laryngoscope blades. High performance LEDs are available
in 2.5V and 3.5V versions, which allow the operator to choose
between using alkaline or rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries as a
power supply. LEDs offer a whiter, more intense light, and can
operate for more than 20,000 hours. Plug-in Laryngoscope handles are
available as 230V or 120V, and customers can choose between 3.5V
Xenon or 3.5V LED versions.
