HEINE F.O. Slim LED laryngoscope handle - premium-quality handles with a matte chrome finish that provide excellent slip resistance during intubation.
The handles support both Xenon Halogen (XHL) and LED illumination, are compatible with all laryngoscope blades compliant with ISO 7376 (Green Standard), and meet all national and international sterilization standards.
Anesthesiologists and intensivists value HEINE laryngoscope handles for the following qualities:
-
ideal, natural illumination
- the LED in the handle provides a natural color temperature of 5200 K with a color rendering index CRI > 80, helping clinicians better distinguish and assess anatomical structures.
-
flicker-free white light
- the lamps provide stable, bright, and consistent illumination, helping clinicians achieve precise tissue visualization while minimizing visual strain and errors.
-
exclusive Fade-Out function
- the F.O. Slim handle gradually reduces brightness as the battery discharges, thereby notifying the user when it’s time to replace or recharge the battery.
-
LEDs in HEINE Quality (HQ) - LED illumination is up to 3× brighter than xenon-halogen. HEINE has set a new standard where only the best is good enough - from material selection to machining, from light intensity to brightness control, and from thermal management to a maximally high color rendering index. This is what we call LED in HEINE Quality - LEDHQ.
In addition to the advantages above, the battery-powered HEINE F.O. Slim LED handle can be easily upgraded to a rechargeable version by replacing the bottom module with the Standard F.O. 4 NT along with the corresponding Li-ion batteries.
The cleaning and disinfection process is simple and does not require complex disassembly - just unscrew the bottom module and remove the inner module. The handle’s smooth surface has no sharp edges or recesses, which also speeds up cleaning, sterilization, and disinfection.
Approved reprocessing methods for the handle:
-
automatic cleaning / disinfection
-
immersion disinfection (“high-level disinfection”)
-
steam sterilization
-
low-temperature sterilization
