    AbstractThe author introduces a new laryngoscope 'MacCoy Laryngoscope' and report its characteristics. The design of this laryngoscope is based on the standard Macintosh blade and it is attached to a standard handle. The characteristics of this laryngoscope are the hinged blade tip, which is controlled by a lever attached to the blade. The elevation of the blade tip makes it easy to visualise the larynx while the overall laryngoscopic movement decreases. Therefore this laryngoscope reduces the force employed during laryngoscopy and eliminates contact with the upper teeth. It does not require any special training in its use. The MacCoy Laryngoscope is useful for both routine and difficult intubation.
