Ambu® PENTAX Airway Scope
The PENTAX-AWS is fast, accurate and portable, and incorporates advanced imaging technology with optimised ergonomic design. Utilising a 2.4” high-resolution colour LCD video monitor, identification of anatomical structures can be easily obtained. When combined with the unique targeting system, fast and accurate placement of the endotracheal (ET) tube is achieved during tracheal intubation.
