FAQ: Ambu® Aura™ Portfolio
Frequently Asked Questions About the Ambu Aura Portfolio for Airway Care
1. What are the benefits of an anatomically curved laryngeal mask?
An anatomically curved laryngeal mask, like the Ambu® AuraOnce™, follows the natural curve of the airway, facilitating easier insertion without the need to place fingers in the patient’s mouth. This design reduces pressure on the airway mucosal tissue, lowering the risk of post-operative discomfort.
