Introducing AerVia® Neonatal Supraglottic Airway

Apr 24, 2025

We are proud to announce the launch of AerVia®, a next generation supraglottic airway device designed specifically for neonates. Whether in the delivery room, NICU, or during transport, AerVia® offers a safe, efficient alternative to endotracheal intubation when temporary airway management is needed.

 

Clinical Applications:

  • Neonatal Resuscitation
  • Airway Management
  • Patient Transport

 

The AerVia® Advantage

As neonatal care continues to evolve, there is growing interest in less invasive, more efficient approaches to airway management. Supraglottic airway devices have been shown to be an effective and less invasive alternative to intubation in neonatal resuscitation and airway management scenarios. 1

Compared to emergency or short-term endotracheal intubation, supraglottic airways like AerVia® offer distinct clinical advantages:

  • Simpler
  • Faster
  • Easier
  • Safer

 

Designed for Neonates

The AerVia® product line includes four supraglottic airway device sizes, each tailored to meet the needs of neonatal patients across weight ranges. The smallest size—AerVia Small—extends supraglottic airway use to neonates under 1000 grams, offering clinicians a new option for even the most fragile patients.

 

Key Features of AerVia®:

  • Epiglottic Pocket with Push Pull™ Method
    The AerVia’s epiglottic pocket secures a patent airway by gently retracting the epiglottis using the Push Pull™ method.
  • Non-Inflatable Cuff
    Eliminating the need for cuff inflation, the AerVia simplifies the process of supraglottic airway insertion and may reduce the risk of tissue damage from potential over inflation.2
  • Airway Sealing Ridges
    The device’s advanced design creates an effective seal around the laryngeal inlet.
  • Ergonomic Shape
    The intuitive design facilitates rapid and straightforward insertion, even in the most challenging situations.
