Abstract

An airway inspection device 2 comprising an elongate housing having a mirror 18 at a distal end and a handle 12at a near end. The angular orientation of the mirror is adjustable via an actuator 46 situated in the handle. The actuator is connected to the mirror via a movable connector 24. The actuator may be manually operatable and the mirror could be mounted on a movable mount 36 using a biased hinge 20, preferably a web of resilient material. There may also be a light near the mirror and a tongue depression portion 80 which may be S shaped. Also claimed is an airway inspection device with a light.
