Zusammenfassung:The technology relates to video laryngoscopes with improved illumination. An example laryngoscope includes a display; a handle; an arm extending distally from the handle; a camera positioned at a distal end of the arm; a light source positioned at the distal end of the arm; and a unibody plug positioned at the distal end of the arm, the unibody plug. The unibody plug includes a light guide formed of a solid transparent material having an entry surface at a proximal end of the light guide and an exit surface at a distal end of the light guide, wherein the entry surface is adjacent the light source; and a frame that defines an air gap around at least 70% of a length of the light guide.
