Abstract:
An adaptive blade for a laryngoscope includes a proximal end, which is mechanically connectable or connected to a handle in order to form an adaptive laryngoscope, a first flexible bar, which extends from the proximal end of the adaptive blade to the distal end thereof, a second flexible bar, which extends from the proximal end of the adaptive blade to the distal end thereof, and a connecting structure with a first end, which is connected to the first flexible bar in an articulated manner, and with a second end, which is connected to the second flexible bar in an articulated manner. The first flexible bar is formed by a first member made of a first material and a second member made of a second material. An interface between the first member and the second member extends over at least half the distance between the proximal end and the distal end of the adaptive blade.
