AMBU has launched Aura-i, the latest member of Ambu Aura family. Ambu Aura-i combines routine use with direct intubation, so the same mask can be used for standard use and for difficult airways.
Aura-i can be used as a guide for endotracheal intubation together with Ambu aScope and standard ET-tubes where unanticipated difficult airways arise and normal intubation is not successful. The mask can also be used with Ambu aScope for anticipated difficult airways where the clinician chooses to establish an airway. Due to its anatomical form, the Ambu Aura-i is easy to place and minimises patient discomfort. It maintains high seal pressures over a longer period of time and the novel connector block prevents airway occlusions and ensures rotational stability of the mask.
