Scope
Medical’s laryngoscope helps a
doctor to find the reason behind voice problems, such as a breathy voice,
hoarse voice, weak voice, or no voice.
Laryngoscope also helps to identify the cause of throat, ear pain,
difficulty in swallowing, a feeling of a lump in the throat, or mucus with
blood in it, and also to check injuries in the throat, narrowing of the throat
(strictures), or blockages in the airway.
Scope
Medical’s Laryngoscopes are of
different types. An inflexible laryngoscope used by anesthetists for intubation
typically consists of a handle and also an interchangeable blade with a bulb
light source. Laryngoscopes are also
used by otolaryngologists and are also found in many variations and are used
for various specialized tasks during endoscopy or surgery of the upper
aerodigestive tract.
The different parts of the laryngoscope are
sterilized separately. The blade of this medical instrument is washed under running tap water with
detergent giving special attention to cleaning around the light bulb and then
boiled/autoclaved/gas sterilized or chemically sterilized with
alcohol/glutaraldehyde
