The Ambu® aScope™ Gastro and aScope™ Gastro Large are best suited for high-risk, intraoperative, and critical care GI endoscopy settings.
The portfolio is also designed to enhance efficiency and safety across clinical environments.
Are Single-Use Gastroscopes Efficient and Safe?
One advantage of Ambu single-use gastroscopes in high-risk settings is that they are always ready to use and don’t require reprocessing. This advantage makes them particularly effective when time is critical and infection control is paramount.
Dr. Vani Konda, a gastroenterologist at Baylor University Medical Center, highlights this advantage: “It makes bedside evaluations pretty appealing to use single-use.”
The ability to decrease setup time and avoid moving equipment from the procedure unit to the ICU or ER enhances patient care efficiency and safety.
Intraoperative endoscopy procedures — including bariatric, foregut, thoracic, general, and trauma surgeries — require a sterile gastroscope that consistently performs well and is immediately available for use, ensuring patient safety.
Managing upper GI bleeds in the ICU and urgent food impactions requires a gastroscope with high-suction performance in critical care situations, top- imaging and is easy to use. The device also needs to be portable and reliable in pressure-packed environments.
Ambu’s single-use gastroscope portfolio checks all these boxes, making it an invaluable tool in critical care environments where every second counts.
Beyond performance and safety, Ambu is leading the way in environmental sustainability. The aScope Gastro Large is the first endoscope made with a bioplastic handle, significantly helping Ambu reduce its carbon footprint without compromising quality or performance.
