Laryngoscopes

Laryngoscope is a kind of endoscope often called ENT (ear-nose-throat) endoscope. These may be rigid or flexible as per their implementation.

Rhino-laryngoscopes and nasopharyngo-laryngoscopes are flexible ENT endoscopes.

Rhinolaryngoscopes use fiber-optic or video technology to examine, diagnose and evaluate the conditions of organs, the larynx. Though it is a diagnostic instrument, some of the models may have biopsy inlet port. Naso-pharyngolaryngoscopes are similar in design and function to rhino-laryngoscopes.

Rigid laryngoscopes are used to expose and view the larynx to facilitate endotracheal intubation. They have a fiber-optic blade that connects to the laryngoscope's handle. The blade may be of different sizes or may be curved or straight.
