Abstract Laryngoscopy is a medical device which is used to examination and visualization of larynx by destructing the upper airway structure and it is also used for tracheal intubation and air way management in modern anesthesia. This paper present design and analysis of video type disposal laryngoscope. It has I-shaped curved and it act as cantilever beam when intubation. Analysis can be calculated by using numerical and FEM methods. Key words: laryngoscope, intubation, cost video laryngoscopes as new intubation
