Abstract
A laryngoscope includes a blade that can be folded outwardly from a storage position to an operative position in which the blade extends from the handle at an angle of the order of 90°. Another laryngoscope includes two blade assemblies that are pivotally mounted together. Each assembly includes a blade and a removable outer sleeve or similar member that protects the blade. The assemblies can be folded outwardly from a storage position to an operative position in which the assemblies extend from each other an angle of the order of 90°. A doctor can remove the outer sleeve from a selected assembly and use the other assembly as a handle of the laryngoscope.
