Nasal Intubation and Macgills Forcep

[spartacus007]

Dear Colleagues

The smallest macgills forceps that I can see online is the 6" 15cm (Infant). Is anyone using anything smaller for LISA and or nasal intubations please.

This is the smallest Magill we have too. A little clunky with small infants...

Hi there, 

For Lisa we use the rather rigid Lisa catheter from Vygon. Magill forceps are not needed then.
