AMBU RECEIVES CE MARK FOR FULL SURESIGHT VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPE PORTFOLIO IN EUROPE

Copenhagen, Denmark, 20 April 2026 – Ambu, the global market leader in single-use endoscopy, today announces receipt of a CE Mark and the upcoming gradual rollout of its entire SureSight video laryngoscope portfolio in Europe.

First launched in the USA and the UK in 2025, and now in the rest of Europe, the SureSight portfolio is designed to provide a clear airway view and support intubation in multiple healthcare settings, including the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), and emergency medical services (EMS). Video laryngoscopy combines advanced visualization of the glottis with ease of use, helping clinicians see the airway more clearly and achieve higher first-pass intubation success rates.¹

While video laryngoscopy accounts for roughly 50% of all procedures in the U.S., it accounts for approximately one in 10 procedures in Europe, where it is primarily used for difficult airway intubations. However, its adoption as a standard intubation tool is increasing.

“The development of video laryngoscopy represented a significant advancement within airway management and has since become a gold standard practice. With the new SureSight portfolio, Ambu has integrated the option of video laryngoscopy into their existing respiratory platform, which is now capable of facilitating simultaneous usage with the aScope Broncho or VivaSight 2 devices to support a combined intubation technique across a single screen. The addition of the SureSight Mobile also ensures universal access to a video laryngoscope across a wide range of clinical settings for unexpected and unplanned procedures,” says Dr George Christodoulides, Consultant Anaesthetist, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK².

The Ambu SureSight portfolio includes two complementary solutions: SureSight Connect and SureSight Mobile, both compatible with 10 single-use SureSight blades. SureSight Connect offers dual-view intubation with video laryngoscopy and the use of a single-use bronchoscope on one screen – ideal for teamwork and training while streamlining complex procedures and reducing equipment requirements. Complimentarily, SureSight Mobile is a compact, portable video laryngoscope with a built-in screen, designed for rapid, ready-to-use deployment across hospital wards and emergency settings.

In addition, SureSight also helps clinicians document intubation directly and transfer images and videos to electronic health records in hospitals. This integrated documentation capability is designed to further enhance workflow efficiency, allowing clinicians to maximize their focus on the patient.  

Britt Meelby Jensen, CEO of Ambu, states, “Now that the entire SureSight portfolio is available across Europe, we are enhancing our Respiratory platform with an integrated video laryngoscopy solution. This offering supports clinicians in working both efficiently and confidently during challenging airway intubations. I am thrilled to introduce these comprehensive solutions within Europe, further solidifying our leadership in single-use endoscopy.”
