Caution
Never insert the

Note
The optimal working distance from the distal window for
vi
sual use of this rigid Laryngostroboscope is 5 to 50 mm.

Laryngostroboscope
is markedly different from the 90-degree
rigid
Laryngostroboscope to which you may be accustomed.

rigid Laryngostroboscope pointing upward in the
patient’s mouth, the 70
-degree rigid Laryngostroboscope angles
downward to allow a closer view
of the vocal fold.

Although complications resulting from use of a rigid
Laryngostroboscope
for viewing the larynx are extremely rare,
the following risks are possible:
•
Laryngospasm.
•
Blood pressure elevation during procedure.
•
Bleeding as a result of injury caused by improper scoping
procedure.
•
Adverse reaction to anesthetic (if used to prevent gagging).
