A reusable rigid intubation laryngoscope is a handheld medical tool used primarily by anesthesiologists and emergency responders to visualize and secure the airway during intubation. Its curved or straight blade lifts the tongue away from the throat, providing a clear path for inserting an endotracheal tube while a built-in light source illuminates the airway.
These devices are typically regulated as reusable medical instruments, often requiring sterilization between uses. They may include interchangeable blades or specialized designs, such as MRI-compatible models, and are supplied as part of a kit or standalone systems for clinical procedures.
