HEINE Flextip+ Fiber Optic (F.O.) Spatula

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.
