Figure 1.
Comparison of the curvature of the Boedeker vs. Bonfils intubation fiberscopes. The Boedeker fiberscope has a greater curvature of 60°. This more anterior curve, compared to the Bonfils Intubation Fiberscope (40 degrees), allows it to line up more easily with the larynx and vocal cords. It also allows insertion in the midline.
