TitleMagill Forceps
CreatorKing (Manufacturer)
DescriptionForceps for inserting an endotracheal tube through the nose into the larynx. The rounded ends of the forceps did less damage to the tissues of the nose and throat than could occur when using a stylet, while allowing a good grip on the tube. The bend in the handles moved the user’s own hand to one side, providing a clear view of the process.
