HEINE SHORT F.O.4 NT LED Laryngoscope handle

The HEINE SHORT 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.
