Small Animal Laryngoscope - Model LS-2
Instructions for Use
Penn-Century’s Small Animal Laryngoscope is designed to facilitate visualization of the epiglottis for tracheal
intubation and use of Penn-Century’s MicroSprayer® Aerosolizers and Dry Powder Insufflators™. Each
laryngoscope comes with a custom-made small, tapered stainless steel blade for moving aside the tongue of the
anesthetized animal. Blades are available in standard sizes for Mouse, Rat and Guinea Pig, and can be ordered to
size for specific requirements. The Model LS-2 comes with a fiber-optic LED light source offering clear, bright
illumination, and a new, easy-grip handle in a curved ergonomic shape that rests securely and comfortably in the
palm of the hand. The handle is coated with a non-slip Santoprene™ coating - a thermoplastic elastomer made
of EPDM rubber and polypropylene. The Model LS-2 operates with a 3 volt lithium battery provided. Both the
handle and detachable blade assembly are sterilizable and autoclavable, according to manufacturer instructions
provided.
