Evidence suggests that laryngoscope cleaning and disinfection proceduresare not 100% effective against bacteria, viruses and prion originating in themouth. The only way to effectively eliminate cross contamination betweenpatients is to use a single use laryngoscope blade. In the past, severalcompanies have offered plastic laryngoscope blades which offered the samefunctionality as metal blades, but came far short in terms of feel andstrength of metal blades. The Surgikal(TM) brand of blades have combined thestrength of stainless steel and are functionally of the reusable blades.Cenmed offers a variety of types and sizes in both Fiber Optic andConventional styles. The Surgikal(TM) brand of blades work with most brandsof handles, and can alternately be used with the Surgikal(TM) brand oflaryngoscope handles.
Overall, anesthetists and anesthesiologists are beginning to recognize therisks surrounding reusing laryngoscope blades. Cenmed is offering a completeline of comparable patient conscious products, which hope to reduce theincidences of cross contamination.
