Rethinking healthcare across Nordic countries
The Nordic Sales Team brings Ambu's mission to the four Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Since 1937, our Sales Representatives and Customer Service Professionals have been providing dedicated services for each country. Located in our headquarters building in Ballerup, Denmark, The Nordic Team works closely with Ambu’s internal R&D department. Together, we continue to redefine possibilities in single-use endoscopy, anaesthesia and patient monitoring solutions.
Together, we are improving healthcare
At Ambu, we prioritize active listening and continuously redefine medical solutions to elevate patient care. Our commitment to understanding the unique needs of doctors, nurses, and patients translates our values into tangible actions. We know that innovation is born in the high-paced environment of health facilities where need arises fast. Together, we ensure that our solutions address and meet all your needs.
Taking leaps towards a sustainable future
We rethink MedTech solutions, for the benefit of healthcare professionals, patients, and our planet. With the introduction of bioplastics, circular packaging, and recycling programs, we continuously lower our environmental footprint.
Targets we're meeting in 2024
Circular products
- Redesign all cuff protectors for Ambu´s laryngeal masks so they contain less material
- Replace all Ambu laryngeal mask cuff protectors to a 100% bioplastic
- Introducng bioplastic has lowered our carbon footprint in endoscope handles production by 70%
Circular packaging
- Secondary packaging (product cardboard boxes) is now 100% recyclable for all Ambu products
Recycling programs
Take back solutions and recycling pilot projects ongoing in Germany and UK for scopes
Total global share of recycled waste in 2022/23 is 46%
MSCI Rating
An MSCI ESG Rating measures a company’s resilience to longterm industry material environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. We’re proud and happy to share that Ambu maintains the AA ranking since 2021, and we uphold our dedication to work towards achieving a more sustainable healthcare.
How a circular approach to packaging lowers our carbon footprint in Aura™ laryngeal masks?
Circularity aims to create a closed-loop system where waste is minimised and materials are recycled.
Our packaging is shrinking
To contribute to our carbon emissions reduction efforts, we have focused on minimizing our packaging size. This approach not only decreases the quantity of materials utilized but also optimizes transport space, enabling us to pack more efficiently, utilize transportation resources more effectively, and ultimately reduce our overall environmental footprint.
Minimal waste; Maximum protection
Not only are we reducing the size of the pouches that the Aura™ range comes in, we are also reducing the plastic used in the cuff protector which is being made as a more cage like structure reducing the amount of plastic used overall.
Marrying sustainability with innovation
In order to lower our carbon footprint, the HDPE plastic used in our cuff protectors is now made in 100% of bioplastic raw material instead of conventional fossil-based HDPE plastic.
3 facts about bioplastics and Ambu laryngeal masks
- The Aura™ laryngeal mask cuff protectors are made of 100% bioplastic material
While the quality and performance of the masks remain the same, the bioplastic material used in the cuff protectors have a lower carbon footprint than purely fossil-based plastics. - Introducing bioplastics reduces our use of fossil-based virgin plastic
The bioplastic material used in our cuff protectors is sourced from a mix of fossil-based and second-generation bio-based feedstock, such as used cooking oil. This practice reduces our use of fossil-based virgin plastic - without competing with food and agriculture production. - Bioplastic has a significantly lower carbon footprint
Bio-attributed HDPE plastic emits 65% less CO2e compared to purely fossil-based HDPE plastic*.
*Based on cradle to grave Life Cycle Assessments on the raw material from supplier. This does not translate to 65% savings for the carbon footprint of the finished good’s full lifecycle. Savings on the raw materials are 6 g to 55 g CO2e per finished good depending on mask size and type.

The Impact of ECG Sensor Design on Signal Noise
Marie Riis Dammeyer, Msc., R&D Engineer & Daniel Hansen, Phd, R&D Engineer
August 2021, Ambu A/S
A comparative study of ECG electrodes with either center or offset connector demonstrates that electrodes with an offset connector mitigate the impact of pulling the lead wire and pressing the connector on signal quality to a large extent.

Life Cycle Assessment of Reusable and Disposable Cystoscopes: A Path to Greener Urological Procedures
Baboudjian, Et Al.
Euro Uro Focus, 2022 Dec
- Transitioning from reusable to single-use can reduce environmental footprint
- Reprocessing of reusable cystoscopes, alone, had greater impact than whole lifespan of aScope 4 Cysto
- Due to lack of manufacturer data for parts of the lifespan other than reprocessing, the environmental impact of reusable cystoscopes was considered close to zero
