A new intubating forceps.
A new intubating forceps is described. The forceps grip the endotracheal tube from the front and back instead of from the side as do Magill's forceps. The advantages of the forceps are a more secure grasp; improved field of vision; better manipulating ability and reduced likelihood of trauma to tissues or tube cuff.
