BritePro™ Solo is a single-use, pre-packaged ergonomic handle with pre-fitted batteries, bright LED light, and the all-metal BriteBlade Pro™ combined in robust sterile packaging. Test in pack, without compromising the sterile seal. Simply open when needed, use and dispose.
Reduction in the shoulder and block height lowers the risk of dental trauma and provides additional space to manoeuvre the blade to obtain the best view. Typical overall height reduction of 71% in curved blades and up to 25% in straight blades.
Sterile packed. Textured grip delivers excellent control and feel.
Developed for neonates and small infants, the lightweight slimline handle gives outstanding tactile feedback.
40% shorter than our standard handles for use when space is limited or reduced neck flexion. Ergonomic barrel shape.
We asked what Anesthesiologists think about of BritePro Solo, the single patient use laryngoscope. Find out what they said about the individual sterile pack, reliability, patient safety and cost savings.
"The first time I held BritePro Solo, I was surprised it was actually disposable!"
"It’s incredibly reliable. You have everything you need right there in one package. You open that and you’re ready to go. From a patient safety issue, I don’t think there’s any better solution for a laryngoscope."
Handles are known to be a source of cross-contamination and studies have shown that wiping the handles with impregnated germicidal wipes is not effective - with between 86%1 and 75%2 remaining positive for bacterial contamination.
Layngoscopes are classed as high risk. The AAGBI states that single use “is encouraged” and acknowledges that “single use disposable equipment will remove the difficulties of re-use and decontamination procedures”. The AAGBI also states that reusable handles be “sterilised by SSDs after every use”3.
Single use is cost effective compared with reusable purchase, maintenance, replacement, reprocessing and sterilisation costs.
