Product Description: Available with an integrated AirPal® Platform (lateral patient transfer device); clinical trials showed the RAMP® “All-in-One” is capable of transferring a patient from the stretcher, onto the OR Table, then positioned and “ramped” to proper “ear to sternal notch” position in under one minute. Once the airway has been established, the patient can be immediately and automatically repositioned for surgery. Also available as a stand-alone device, the efficiency of the RAMP allows use of patient positioning for direct laryngoscopy as routine.

Product Description: AuraOnce has a special curve that carefully replicates natural human anatomy. Molded directly into the tube, the unique shape makes correct insertion easy without abrading the upper airway. AuraOnce’s curve also ensures that the patient’s head remains in a natural supine position when the mask is in use without extra stress on the upper jaw. Moreover, AuraOnce is specially designed to give the airway tube the flexibility needed to adapt to individual anatomical variances and a wide range of head positions. AuraOnce has a D-shaped airway tube to give a firm and ergonomical grip during insertion. In short, positioning is fast and accurate, with least possible internal pressure.

Product Description: Ambu AuraStraight provides users with an even greater choice and an alternative to the already popular AuraOnce curved laryngeal mask for use both in anesthesia and emergency medicine. Unlike all other laryngeal masks, Ambu AuraStraight features a unique one-piece mould design, which ensures not only consistency, but also that there are no rough edges on the airway tube or cuff. Furthermore, the Ambu AuraStraight provides an extra soft, thin cuff. Thus, the seal more readily conforms to the shape of the airway with the minimal amount of pressure. Additionally, the reinforced tip and EasyGlide surface aids the ease of insertion and extraction. Ambu AuraStraight comes in eight sizes, ranging from neonate to large adult.
