The McKesson 4084MM Miller #4 is a straight laryngoscope blade intended for use in adult airway management, especially in situations requiring a direct vertical lift of the epiglottis. Its size #4 designation means it is among the larger blades in the Miller series, suited for adult patients with a larger airway. The straight (Miller) design allows the blade to slide beneath the epiglottis to directly lift it, rather than indirectly lifting via the tongue — a technique many clinicians favor in neonates and pediatrics but which is also used in adults when exposure is difficult or anatomical constraints exist.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, the blade is designed for repeated use. It is non‑sterile on delivery, so proper cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization are necessary before clinical use. Its standard hook‑on design allows it to mate with most conventional laryngoscope handles with compatible illumination (following ISO 7376), enabling an illuminated line of sight during intubation. Because of its robust construction, the blade is generally reliable in settings of routine airway management and in more challenging environments, provided it is well maintained.

In clinical workflow, the McKesson Miller #4 can be a valuable tool for adult intubation when the anatomy or angle demands direct epiglottic manipulation. Its larger size gives more reach, but at the same time demands careful insertion technique to avoid trauma to nearby tissues. Proper training, technique, and care in cleaning are essential to ensure safety, longevity, and optimal performance.
