Digital laryngoscope

Abstract

The Digital Laryngoscope is a Layngoscope design that incorporates the latest optical and digital technology for a reliable and consistent method of visualization and exposure of anatomical structures required for Endotracheal intubation. It consists of a Blade unit with a ‘reverse’ curvature or concave distal end outfitted with a light system. The Blade's proximal end forms the Blade to Handle mounting system, based on a ‘slide-mount’ mechanism. The Handle unit's proximal end has Handle to Blade receiver ‘slide-mount’ mechanism, a curved metal Tube that houses at its distal end an Optical image sensor and its wiring. The Tube is mounted to the Handle via attachments to the receiver ‘slide-mount’ and the Handle itself. The Handle is ergonomically shaped and angled. The Handle serves as the housing unit for the Digital color processor and its wiring connecting it to the Tube unit's Lens system, as well as the lid-shaped molded Battery power supply. The distal end of the Handle is outfitted with a mounting, connector/receiver that mounts/connects to a Radio-frequency Transitter that transmits the image via remote wireless mode onto one or several display monitor screens fitted with a radio-frequency receiver, and it does so simultaneously. The Handle can accommodate connection of a detachable small and compact color LCD Monitor supported on an adjustable, swivel support. The displays as well as the LCD Monitor display the image of the visual field in full color and picture quality resolution.
