The FPS length mimics a standard malleable stylet. It is intended for use in every laryngoscopy, replacing a standard stylet for shaping and handling of the tracheal tube. In easy direct laryngoscopy the instrument can be used to place the tube under direct vision, without looking through the eyepiece, although the fiberoptic view can provide immediate visual confirmation of intratracheal placement. In situations of poor glottic exposure, however, it can be used for fiberoptic-guided intubation within the time frame of inserting a standard stylet.

     The FPS can be also used without a laryngoscope , adjusting its malleable stylet to a more extreme bend angle, about 70 degrees. Finally, the FPS can permit fiberoptic intubation through a supraglottic airway, or placed alongside a previously placed tracheal tube to verify tube position.
