About Silicon Ambu Bags
Abagvalve mask (BVM), sometimes known by the proprietary nameAmbu bagor generically as a manual resuscitator or "self-inflatingbag", is a hand-held device commonlyusedto provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.Advanced Safety and DesignSilicon Ambu Bags incorporate pressure relief valves on pediatric and infant models to prevent excessive airway pressure. The translucent bags enable clear visualization of condensation and operation, supporting accurate monitoring during critical care. Every component is constructed from latex-free, medical-grade silicone for safety and patient comfort.
Versatile Usage Across Patient GroupsThis manual resuscitator range includes dedicated sizes and mask options for adults, children, and infants, with reservoir bag capacities adjusted to each group (1600 ml for adults, 600 ml pediatric, 250 ml infant). Multiple mask sizes and adjustable inflation valves ensure a secure fit, enhancing the performance in emergency and routine ventilation scenarios.
Reusable and Easy Sterilization ProcessEngineered for repeated use, Silicon Ambu Bags are designed to be autoclavable up to 134C. After each use, the device can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized, supporting cost-efficiency and reducing medical waste while maintaining high hygiene standards. Proper storage prolongs shelf life up to five years unopened.
FAQ's of Silicon Ambu Bags:
Q: How do I properly sterilize the Silicon Ambu Bag for reuse?
A: After use, disassemble the device and thoroughly wash all parts with mild detergent. Rinse with sterile water and allow to dry completely. Autoclave all parts at temperatures up to 134C as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure all components are cool and dry before reassembling and storing.
Q: What models and sizes are available for Silicon Ambu Bags?
A: These Ambu Bags are supplied in Adult, Pediatric, and Infant models, each with appropriately sized silicone masks and reservoir bags (1600 ml for adults, 600 ml pediatric, 250 ml infant). Multiple mask sizes with adjustable inflation valves ensure a secure fit for patients of all ages.
Q: When should I use a manual resuscitator like the Silicon Ambu Bag?
A: Silicon Ambu Bags are recommended for artificial ventilation in emergency situations, resuscitation, anesthesia induction, and patient transport, especially when mechanical ventilators are inaccessible or impractical.
Q: What are the main benefits of using 100% medical-grade silicone in Ambu Bags?
A: Medical-grade silicone is non-toxic, latex-free, flexible, durable, and easy to clean. It enhances patient safety, reduces the risk of allergies, and supports repeated high-temperature sterilization without loss of integrity.
Q: How does the pressure relief valve enhance safety during pediatric use?
A: For pediatric and infant sizes, the pressure relief (safety) valve prevents delivery of excessive airway pressure, reducing the risk of lung injury and providing controlled, safe ventilation for small patients.
Q: Where can Silicon Ambu Bags be used and how portable are they?
A: Due to their compact design and light weight (about 400-500g for adults), these Ambu Bags are ideal for use in hospitals, ambulances, clinics, field medical units, and home health care. Their portability makes them a reliable choice for emergency kits and transport situations.
Q: What accessories are included with each Silicon Ambu Bag?
A: Each unit comes complete with a medical-grade silicone face mask, oxygen reservoir bag, 2-meter oxygen tubing, and connectors (standard 22 mm OD/15 mm ID), ensuring readiness for immediate use in emergency or clinical settings.
