HEINE Standard F.O. 4 NT Laryngoscope Handle 3.5V Li-ion

The HEINE Standard F.O. 4 NT Laryngoscope Handle with a 3.5V Li-ion battery is a high-quality medical instrument used in laryngoscopy, typically by anesthesiologists, ENT specialists, and other healthcare professionals. Here's a brief overview of its key features:

1. Fiber Optic Illumination:

   • The "F.O." in the name stands for Fiber Optic, meaning this handle is designed to provide bright, focused, and shadow-free illumination during laryngoscopy. The light source is transmitted through fiber optics to the blade, allowing for better visibility during procedures.

2. 3.5V Li-ion Battery:

   • The handle is powered by a 3.5V Lithium-ion battery, which offers a long-lasting power supply. Li-ion batteries are known for their efficient energy storage, providing consistent light output without the gradual dimming seen in some other battery types.

3. NT (Non-Contact) Charging Technology:

   • The "NT" indicates that the handle can be charged using HEINE's NT4 or similar charging devices, which utilize non-contact technology. This system ensures safe and efficient charging without the need for direct electrical contact, reducing the risk of corrosion and wear.

4. Ergonomic Design:

   • The handle is designed to be comfortable to hold and use, with a textured surface to prevent slipping. This is important for maintaining control during delicate procedures.

5. Durability:

   • HEINE is known for producing durable medical equipment, and the Standard F.O. 4 NT handle is no exception. It’s built to withstand the demands of frequent use in clinical settings.

6. Compatibility:

   • This handle is compatible with HEINE's range of laryngoscope blades that utilize fiber optic technology, making it a versatile tool in the operating room or emergency settings.

The handle is used by attaching it to a laryngoscope blade. Once connected, the fiber optic light illuminates the patient's airway, allowing for visual inspection and procedures such as intubation.

• The handle should be cleaned and disinfected according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure longevity and safety. The Li-ion battery should be recharged regularly using the appropriate NT charging unit.
