The Macintosh (Mac) laryngoscope features a curved blade designed to expose the larynx by positioning the tip in the vallecula, just anterior to the epiglottis, effectively lifting it out of view. It is regarded as one of the most successful and durable laryngoscopes in the history of anesthesia. Originally developed to facilitate intubation in unparalyzed patients, the Macintosh blade remains an essential tool in airway management.
