Veterinary practices, hospitals, and university clinics that anaesthetise animals use the VetFiber for both laryngeal examination and tracheal intubation. Its five straight blades let one set work across animals of different sizes from a single handle.
At induction, once the animal is anaesthetised, the vet holds the VetFiber in the right hand, which is designed for its right-facing blade opening. The straight blade brings the larynx into view under white LED light, and the vet passes the endotracheal tube into the trachea while holding the view.
When intubation is prolonged, the light's position matters. RWD houses the LED in the handle and describes its light as heat-free, so tissue in contact with the blade is spared heat as long as the blade stays in place. A team working on a difficult airway can take the time it needs.
Laryngeal examination calls on the same instrument and the same cold light. The straight blade keeps the larynx exposed during assessment, and the right length is already in the case for the animal on the table.
Between animals, the blade comes off the handle for cleaning and disinfection, a task its non-electrical construction keeps straightforward, and the next size is taken from the carry case. RWD credits the 304 stainless steel's ultra-high hardness for the blades' durability through repeated handling, and the LED, rated for more than 60,000 hours, stays in service through a long run of procedures.
