Crystal™ Disposable Blade
Rated Brightest in Hospital Tests

During recent research, the Penlon Crystal™ Blade was rated as providing the brightest illumination when tested against blades from six other manufacturers.*

Clinicians in the Department of Anaesthetics at the Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, UK, found that the Penlon Crystal™ came top when compared with disposable laryngoscope blades from six of our competitors.

The light output with force applied to the blade (simulating the blade under tension during intubation) was 70% higher than the average output from the other blades.
