1 Introduction
The PENTAX Medical Rigid Laryngostroboscopes, Model 9106 (9106)
and Model 9108 (9108), provide optimal viewing of the vocal folds with a
maximum transmission of light. The fiberoptic cable of the rigid
Laryngostroboscope is continuous from the distal end of the cable to the
tip of the rigid Laryngostroboscope (i.e., there is no detachment where
the cable inserts into the rigid Laryngostroboscope). This provides the
user with bright, clear, high-quality imaging capabilities. This instrument
is intended to observe glottic action with the use of a stroboscopic light
source.
1-1 Intended Use

instrument is inserted perorally when indications consistent with the

Laryngostroboscopes for any purpose other than that for which they
have been designed.
