Abstract: An improved double-bladed laryngoscope for recording and locally displaying an area of interest of a patient via a readily interchangeable and sterilizable visual image recorder and being of the type having a stationary handle, a stationary blade affixed to the stationary handle, a movable tip pivotally attached to the stationary blade, a movable tip arm pivotally attached to movable tip and movable handle, a movable blade pivotally attached to the stationary blade and affixed to movable handle by movable blade arm. When the movable tip at valleculla of a patient and the movable handle is moved towards the stationary handle will bend the movable tip lifting the epiglottis to uncover laryngeal opening (glottis). Simultaneously a movable blade pivotally attached to stationary blade and affixed to movable handle so as to allow movable blade to pivot away from stationary blade spreading posterior pharyngeal tissues and allowing space for intubating tube.

Abstract: An improved laryngoscope of the type having a stationary handle, a stationary blade affixed to the stationary handle, a tip pivotally attached to the stationary blade, a movable handle pivotally attached to the stationary blade, and an arm pivoting the tip downwardly when the movable handle is moved towards the stationary handle depressing the epiglottis. The improvement includes a movable blade pivotally attached to the stationary blade and affixed to the movable handle so as to allow the movable blade to pivot away from the stationary blade when the movable handle is moved towards the stationary handle and spread the posterior tissue defining the superior opening of the larynx away from the epiglottis simultaneously as the tip depresses the epiglottis and both thereby opening up the trachea exposing the larynx, and a lock locking the movable blade in a desired positioned by locking the movable handle affixed thereto.
