The Best Defense Against Cross-ContaminationProtecting both patient and machine
KingF2 Filter™Over time, we have revolutionized our circuit design to include the highest performing fi lter which protects
both the patient and the machine from bacterial and viral cross-contamination such as TB. We offer
phthalate/DEHP/Latex free materials with our patients’ well-being in mind.
Protects both machine and patient against cross-contamination with
a two in one fi lter design
Co-Axial design promotes thermal effi ciency during procedures
Flex hose is shapeable and reduces the amount of torque and weight at the patient end
Expandable fl ex hose design collapses the circuit to 1/3 its size, allowing for easier
packaging and storage
Our dual chambered fi lter provides
separate protection of the inspiratory
gases (blue) and the expiratory gases
(red) in one unique fi lter. This helps
reduce the risk of bacterial and viral
cross-contamination such as TB.
The co-axial design
helps keep the patient
normothermic as the warm
expiratory gases (red) warm
the cool inspiratory
gases (blue).

Since 1978 Ambu King Systems has been a leading supplier and innovator in anesthesia disposables. Innovations include the fi rst co-axial circuit, dual chamber high effeciency fi lter, contour breathing
bag, and scented masks.
King F Flex™Similar to the Flex2, the King F Flex is a single limb
co-axial expandable circuit that promotes thermal
effi ciency. However, unlike the KingFlex2, this circuit
features a disposable manifold.
Dominated the market;
being made from
clear plastics
First co-axial anesthesia
circuit introduced to
the world
KingFlex2™Filter protects both patient and machine (inspiratory and
expiratory machine ports) with a single, dual-chamber,
high effi ciency fi lter. Effi cient at removing 99.99% of
bacteria and viruses. Offers the ability to shape the fl ex
tubing near the airway and ability to compress/expand
fl ex tubing to ideal length between patient and machine
reduces the torque on the airway device. (Reference the
back of the brochure for more fi lter effi ciency details,
and for sizes of common bacteria and viruses.)

King 2-Limb Ultra-Flex™Reduces the number of circuit lengths stocked, due
to fl ex tubing being expandable to multiple lengths.
Signifi cantly less storage space required, because fl ex
tubing is packaged at its most compressed length.

Anesthesia Delivery Products Designed for Children
KingBreathing Bags™
Our breathing bags provide a secure attachment to the
machine as well as a good feel of lung compliance. The
rigid material of the bag bushing allows for consistent
bag tolerance when infl ated. Effi ciently delivers required
gas volume with less hand fatigue due to thin and
pliable bag material, and also due to the shape of the
Contour bag.
Operation KidStuff™ is the remedy to pre-surgery anxiety in children. Ambu offers brightly colored Rainbow Bags and scented Sweet Dream Masks. Just show the child the bright breathing bag “balloon” and let them smell the scented mask. They can select which colored bag and scented mask they like best and hold those items as they are wheeled to the OR.
Operation KidStuff bags and masks have been shown to help reduce a child’s observable anxiety after they are separated from their parents.
Ambu also offers the co-axial Pediatric F2 breathing circuit, designed specifi cally for pediatric patients.

KingMasks™Our masks provide an excellent face seal with an
extremely pliable and tacky cushion. The ribs located
on the top of the cushion provides a no slip grip. King
Masks contain no DEHP or phthalates and are MRI safe.
