Ambu Spur II Disposable Resuscitator (BVM)

Key Specifications

Product Overview

The Ambu Spur II is the BVM that emergency medicine has trusted for over three decades. Where other disposable resuscitators use polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Ambu engineers the Spur II from SEBS — a thermoplastic elastomer that eliminates dioxin, hydrochloric acid, and other toxic by-products on incineration. That distinction makes the Spur II genuinely single-use without the environmental or infection-control liability of a PVC bag. The result is a resuscitator that can be handed off at scene handover, documented as single-patient-use, and discarded with zero cross-contamination risk.

Tactile feedback is the clinician's most important monitor during manual ventilation, and the Spur II's thin SEBS bag walls deliver it in full. Rescuers can feel lung compliance change breath to breath — a critical early indicator of pneumothorax, bronchospasm, or improving aeration. The SafeGrip™ surface keeps the bag secure even with gloved, wet, or bloodied hands, while the integrated ergonomic handle allows confident one-handed ventilation when the other hand is immobilizing the airway or managing suction. Stroke volumes of 800 mL (one hand) and 1,000 mL (two hands) meet accepted adult tidal volume targets without relying on an oversized bag.

The single-shutter valve system — crystal-clear and visually confirmable during every breath — has been validated across over 30 years of hospital and pre-hospital use. A swivel connector between the mask and valve allows 360° bag rotation without breaking the mask seal, an ergonomic detail that matters during constrained-space rescues or extrication. The adult bag compresses for compact storage, fitting cleanly into most IFAK side pockets and EMS jump bags. The pressure-limiting valve system prevents excessive delivery pressures that can cause barotrauma; an override cap is included for advanced providers who need higher inflation pressures.

Clinical Context

The Spur II's role in prehospital and tactical emergency medicine extends well beyond hospital resuscitation rooms. For tactical medics, paramedics, and first responders, a BVM that delivers reliable valve function, accurate tactile compliance feedback, and confirmed single-use disposability is not a luxury — it is a patient-safety requirement. The Ambu Spur II is the standard resuscitator for the U.S. Naval Surface Forces, validating its durability and reliability in demanding operational environments.

The Spur II is compatible with Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometers and Disposable PEEP Valves without additional adapters — critical flexibility for providers who require PEEP during transport or prolonged field care. The m-port variant (available separately) supports EtCO₂ monitoring and medication delivery directly through the BVM circuit.
