A reusable laryngoscope handle is the handheld component of a rigid laryngoscope used to position the blade during airway management and intubation. It houses lighting elements—such as a bulb or fiberoptics—and connects to interchangeable blades, providing illumination and control for visualizing the vocal cords.
These devices are typically designed for repeated use in clinical settings, with some models offering MRI compatibility. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments and subject to standards ensuring durability, sterility, and performance for airway procedures.
