Product details & mandatory information
HEINE Flextip+ fibre optic (F.O.) blade in detail
The Heine® FLEXTIP+ F.O. SPATEL has been specially developed to provide an optimal solution for difficult intubation situations. With its Macintosh blade design and an angled distal end (up to 70° inclination), this instrument allows gentle lifting of the epiglottis after insertion of the blade. This unique functionality creates a clear view of the laryngeal inlet and vocal cords, while avoiding excessive pressure on the teeth, tongue and pharynx.
The key features at a glance:
- HiLite fibre optic light guide: The FLEXTIP+ F.O. SPATEL is equipped with the Heine HiLite fibre optic light guide, which offers improved light transmission and a longer service life with more than 6500 individual fibres. You can choose between LED or XHL illumination, which provides up to 3 times or 40 % higher illuminance compared to conventional halogen lamps.
- Reduction of the risk of injury: The high-quality stainless steel construction and the blade end that can be bent up to 70° make difficult intubation easier and significantly minimise the risk of injury in problem patients.
- Autoclavable and reusable: The product is non-sterile, reusable and autoclavable. After 4,000 standard autoclaving cycles at 134 °C for 4 minutes, the illuminance remains well above 1,000 lux.
- Compatibility: The FLEXTIP+ F.O. SPATEL is suitable for all laryngoscope handles of the larger series according to ISO 7376 (Grüner Standard), with the exception of the F.O. angle handle. Angled handle.
