Magill Open Adult Forceps

• It is angled in two planes which allows for it to be used in the oro- and hypo-harynx under direct vision during laryngoscopy.
• The most common application of this instrument is to maneuver the ET tube in nasal intubations
• The Magill forceps is used to pick up the ET tube in the posterior oropharynx and place its tip into the laryngeal inlet.
• The forceps’ grip surface is serrated and care must be taken not to rupture the cuff when maneuvering the ET tube.
• Ideally the endotracheal tube should therefore be held with the forceps just proximal to the cuff.
