Our commitment to providing reliable solutions for airway management does not end with identifying user needs and engineering the optimal design. It is equally as important to obtain proof of its excellence. The performance, reliability and ease of use of the Ambu laryngeal mask airway is documented in an impressive number of clinical studies and
research articles.

Easy insertion
Studies have concluded that the Ambu AuraOnce laryngeal mask is easier to insert than other laryngeal masks. The 70-degree angle of the airway tube may well be responsible for that, because it emulates the human anatomy. The easy insertion also means that there is no need to place fingers in the patient’s mouth.

 

Higher seal pressure
Ambu laryngeal masks have shown to have a higher oropharyngeal seal pressure in a number of clinical studies. A specific study shows that seal pressure is not influenced by the position of the patient’s head. Seal pressure is crucial for ventilation. If pressure cannot be maintained,
ventilation of the patient will fail.
 

Less traumatic
Ambu laryngeal masks are less traumatic with respect to complications during the anaesthetic pre-, peri- and postoperative procedure. Clinical studies conclude that post-operative complaints are infrequent.
