Bronchoscopy Engineered for Superior Suction, Clarity and Control in the ICU
When Bronchoscopy Performance Drives Critical Care Decisions
In the ICU, bronchoscopy isn’t routine — it’s decisive. When patients are unstable and time-sensitive airway management is required, device performance directly impacts clinical decision-making.
The Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho delivers:
- High suction capacity to support airway clearance when obstruction cannot wait
- Crisp, high-definition imaging for confident visualization in unstable patients
- Precise articulation and tip control to navigate complex airway anatomy
Paired with the Ambu® Broncho Sampler Set — sample collection’s first update in 50 years — clinicians gain a sterile, ready-to-use solution that supports efficient BAL and specimen collection, helping standardize workflow while reducing delays.
For leading hospitals, bronchoscopy performance isn’t optional. It’s operationally critical.

Free Guide to Learn How Ambu is Helping HCPs Overcome BAL/BW Workflow Inefficiencies
For 50 years, bronchoalveolar lavage methods didn’t evolve — until Ambu redefined what’s possible.
We launched the first all-in-one, closed-loop, sterile sampling system, minimizing contamination, streamlining workflow and delivering the performance frontline teams demand.

VIDEO | aScope 5 BronchoSampler vs. Traditional Lukens Trap
When Ambu set out to reinvent the way BAL is done, we knew we’d leave the Lukens trap out of the equation. That’s because we had a better idea for safer sampling — so good we patented it!
Check out how easy it is for one clinician to collect a sample with an Ambu single-use bronchoscope and the BronchoSampler.
RESEARCH | Comparison Study Shows aScope 5's Superior Performance
Read the comparison study that documents aScope 5 Broncho's superior levels of performance against reusable scopes for flexible bronchoscopy:
- Expect a 17 % increase in flexion and an 83% increase in extension compared with the market leader reusable when you use aScope 5 with 2.8 mm biopsy forceps.
- Look for a 21% increase in flexion and 61% increase in extension when you’re placing endobronchial valves in hard-to-reach segments.
- Watch for 195 degrees of flexion and extension without tools — better than the standard reusable provides.
