Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope
A flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope is a medical device used by doctors to examine the upper throat and voice box (larynx). It consists of a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera and light at the tip, allowing the doctor to see inside without making large cuts. The device can gently navigate through the nose or mouth to check for issues like infections, tumors, or problems with voice or swallowing. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that provides real-time images, helping doctors diagnose and plan appropriate treatments efficiently.
