Ambu® Resuscitators

More than 50 years ago Ambu developed the world's first self-inflating resuscitator, designed for manual ventilation. Since then, the Ambu Bag has become synonymous with resuscitators, signalling an excellence in quality and innovation from the company. We are continuously improving and expanding our resuscitator product range—from the reusable Mark IV and the Ambu Oval, to the latest in disposable resuscitators such as the SPUR II.
