Reduced handle and blade weight for improved balance and maneuverability facilitating even the most difficult intubations * Blades easily convert from lamp to fiber optic illumination; making upgrading economical * Repairable allowing replacement of the deteriorating light payways for a fraction of the cost of a replacement blade * Increased cross-sectional area enlarges the field of view * Single-piece stainless steel blades ensure blade integrity (no soldered joints) *
