Abstract

A laryngoscope and a method of using the laryngoscope in intubating mammals are described. The laryngoscope comprises a pen light grip for holding the laryngoscope like a pen, and an elongate probe attached coaxially via probe grip, wherein the elongate probe (14) is elongate and tapered such that the distal tip of the probe has the smallest cross section profile as compared to any cross section of the probe taken between the tip of the probe and the portion of the probe proximate the probe grip, and where the probe is curved and deflects away from the axis of probe and pen light grip and is substantially made from a material that transmits and or scatters light. The tip angle of deflection is 50 degrees and the deflection measured in mm is 50 mm. The tip 22 is twice as high as it is wide and, at the near tip point, the cross sectional profile is narrower than it is tall.
