Ambu Spur II Einweg-Beatmungsbeutel (BVM)

Is the Ambu Spur II BVM CoTCCC-recommended?

The Ambu Spur II is not specifically designated as a CoTCCC-recommended item by name, as CoTCCC recommendations address tourniquet and hemorrhage-control devices primarily. However, the Spur II is the adopted standard resuscitator for the U.S. Naval Surface Forces (NSN 6515-01-519-3612) and is carried in military medical sets worldwide. It meets all prehospital BVM requirements for manual ventilation in tactical and emergency medical protocols.

What makes the Ambu Spur II different from other disposable BVMs?

The Spur II is the only disposable resuscitator made from SEBS polymer instead of PVC. SEBS eliminates toxic combustion by-products (dioxin, hydrochloric acid) upon disposal, making it genuinely environmentally safe. Its thin-walled bag provides superior tactile compliance feedback compared to stiffer PVC units, and the single-shutter valve system offers over 30 years of proven reliability with visually confirmable operation.

What sizes does the Ambu Spur II come in?

MED-TAC carries the Ambu Spur II in two configurations: the Adult unit (SKU 331100) and a multi-size pediatric kit (SKU 331105K) that includes one Neonatal, one Infant, and one Child BVM. The complete Spur II family also includes Paediatric and Infant sizes for other ordering channels. All sizes are color-coded packaging for rapid identification.

Can the Ambu Spur II deliver 100% oxygen?

Yes. When connected to a supplemental oxygen source via the screw-on/off adapter, the Spur II can deliver up to 100% FiO₂. The oxygen mixing reservoir bag is included, and the crush-resistant star tubing maintains oxygen flow even if the tubing is partially crimped during field use.

Is the Ambu Spur II latex-free?

Yes. The Ambu Spur II is completely latex-free throughout — bag, mask, valve, and tubing — making it safe for patients with latex allergies or sensitivities. This is particularly important in emergency settings where patient allergy histories may be unknown.
