Posterior commissure laryngoscope for carbon dioxide laser surgery. 1983

R H Ossoff, and M S Karlan, and G A Sisson

A laryngoscope has been developed for microlaryngeal laser surgery in the posterior commissure of the larynx. The tip has been designed to facilitate exposure of one entire arytenoid and the posterior commissure. Other features include a concavity on the superior lip of the tip to hold the endotracheal tube anteriorly, a bifurcated smoke evacuation channel and a nonreflective finish. It is anticipated that this laryngoscope will be available in pediatric and adolescent sizes in addition to the adult size that we have worked with.
