A metal laryngoscope blade is provided for use in a laryngoscope including a laryngoscope handle to form an operative generally L-shaped configuration. The blade comprises a metal laryngoscope spatula having a longitudinal centerline, a proximate end and a distal end correspondingly adjacent to and remote from the laryngoscope handle in the operative generally L-shaped configuration, a top surface and a bottom surface correspondingly facing away from and towards the laryngoscope handle in the operative generally L-shaped configuration. The distal end has a leading safety tip contact zone including a front edge and opposite leading side edges meeting the front edge at leading corners. The blade further comprises a non-metal safety tip mounted on said distal end to embed said safety tip contact zone therein.
