A COMPLETE SOLUTION TO PREVENT CROSS-CONTAMINATION
Concerns about proper cleaning of tools used for tracheal intubation have been
growing as bacteria are becoming more resistant and no perfect decontamination
procedures exist.1 While most concerns about laryngoscope cleaning revolves
around the blade because of the patient contact, handles are becoming more of
a concern as studies have shown that handles also carry bacteria.2
The Rusch® TruLiteTM Single-Use Laryngoscope is a new single-use solution which
consists of a combined laryngoscope blade and handle. This unique system offers
the opportunity to reduce potential for infection associated with reusable devices.
The TruLiteTM Laryngoscope blade is constructed of surgical grade stainless steel
with rounded edges and tip, while the handle is a uniform size for all blade
configurations and combines a high-grade, reinforced plastic with an ergonomic
grip. The TruLiteTM Laryngoscope features LED lighting technology that provides
strong, focused and reliable illumination while reducing battery consumption.
The critical components that join the blade and the handle in the TruLiteTM
Laryngoscope are built to reliably withstand the forces of intubation. This one-piece
blade and handle system also prevents the risk of component incompatibility in
emergency situations.
