A laryngoscope blade, the blade comprising: a main blade portion having a posterior surface, a distal end and a proximal end, the posterior surface having a length that is generally straight from the proximal end to the distal end; a blade tip extending from the distal end of the main blade portion, the blade tip further extending beyond a width of the main blade portion from a first side of the main blade portion, the blade tip further extending from the posterior surface of the main blade portion at a select angle; a first tongue displacement plate extending from a second side of the main blade portion at generally a right angle, the first tongue displacement portion further extending along a select length of the main blade portion proximate the distal end of the main blade portion; a second tongue displacement plate extending from the first displacement plate at generally a right angle, the second displacement plate further extending from the first displacement plate in a direction that is generally away from the main blade portion, the second tongue displacement plate further having a surface that is positioned in an opposite direction as the posterior surface of the main blade, the surface of the second tongue displacement plate forming a plane that is generally parallel with an axis formed by the length of the posterior surface; and a blade base coupled to the proximal end of the main blade portion, wherein the generally straight length of the posterior surface extends from the blade base at generally a right angle.
