AirSim® Difficult Airway

AirSim® Airway delivers true-to-life anatomical visualisation of the following landmarks:

Nasopharynx:

• Nasal Turbinates

Oropharynx:

• Tongue
• Uvula
• Vallecula

Laryngopharynx:

• Epiglottis
• Arytenoid cartilage
• Oesophageal opening

Larynx:

• Glottis
• Vocal cords

Lower Airway:

• Tracheal rings
• Carina
• Bronchus
• Bronchioles

Fast configuration of key airway presentations including:

• Laryngospasm
• Displaced Larynx
• Tongue Oedema
• Trismus
• Receding/Protruding Mandible
• Restricted Neck Mobility

Designed for scalable programme delivery, the model uses cost-effective consumables that are quick and easy to interchange.

*Extreme Difficult Airway available upon request, the internal airway has an enlarged tongue, swollen posterior cartilages and an elongated epiglottis to provide a very challenging airway management user experience. Contact our team today for more information.

All features are quickly adjustable, allowing facilitators to run isolated challenges (e.g., trismus only) or combined complexity (e.g., laryngospasm + limited neck mobility) to align with learning objectives, assessment requirements, and cohort size.

Integrated visual indicators of stomach inflation and lung expansion provide immediate feedback to reinforce correct ventilation and airway management technique.

Delivered ready to use in a durable carry case for straightforward transportation and safe storage – supporting consistent deployment across multiple training locations.

Set-up time is under 5 minutes – simply remove the manikin from the carry case, then spray the airway and nasal passage generously with the lubricant provided.

• Adjustable from normal to complete airway obstruction.
• Sudden closure of the vocal cords can be simulated.
• Upon successful user action, laryngospasm can be mechanically reversed to provide positive feedback.

• Ability to displace the larynx into a more anterior position to make visualisation of the vocal cords more challenging.
• Adjustable to provide various levels of difficulty.

•  The tongue can be swollen to simulate various degrees of tongue angioedema. 

• Ability to grossly restrict mouth opening to make insertion of airway devices more challenging.

• Various degrees of malocclusion, one mandibular variant and two maxillary variants. 
• Overbite and underbite features simulated.

• Ability to simulate cervical arthropathy through restricting the range of motion of cervical spine.
• Neck lock / Head rotation restriction.

• Easy identification of sternal notch, tracheal rings & cricoid and laryngeal cartilages.
• Interchangeable larynx allows quick and easy repeated use.
• Wraparound replaceable neck skin rotates for 10-15 incisions.

• 1 AirSim Difficult Airway ready-to-use (DA91100)
• 1 AirSim Difficult Airway Carrier Case (ABAG01)
• 100ml Bottle Of Lubrication (TL001)
• 5 Larynx Inserts (NLX050 – 1 supplied on the manikin and 4 spare)
• 1 Wraparound Neck Skin (RSN2005 – supplied on manikin)
• 2 sets of adhesive pads (attachable to suction cups for increased stability if required)

• TruCorp lubrication 100ml (TL001)
• Larynx inserts (NLX050)
• Wraparound neck skins (RSN2005)
• Super Saver Cric Pack (100 Procedures) (ATP0100)

• 1 larynx insert (NLX050) facilitates 1 surgical cricothyroidotomy and 2-3 percutaneous tracheostomy procedures
• 1 wraparound neck skin (RSN2005) facilitates approx. 10-15 incisions, the skin is designed to be rotated around the neck to maximize usage
• All consumables are quick and easy to interchange so there is no disruption to teaching time

We recommend TruCorp’s silicone based lubrication for best practice, but alternatives can be used provided they are water or silicone-based lubricants. Avoid using petroleum/oil based lubricants as this will degrade the material over time.

No, this training manikin is delivered ready to use so you can begin training straight away! Generously spray the oral/nasal passages and equipment with the lubrication provided.

• Size 7.0-7.5mm ID for nasal intubation
• Size 8.0-9.0mm ID for oral intubation
• Large / Size 6 for BVM ventilation mask
• Size 3-5 for LMA laryngeal masks
• Similar respective sizes for other supraglottic devices

Yes, if successfully intubated the two lung bags will inflate. If the airway device is incorrectly placed in the oesophagus, the stomach bag will inflate.

Please direct all warranty and repair requests/inquiries to:

The AirSim Difficult Airways comes with a 1-year warranty. Warranty begins from the date of delivery.

Thoroughly wash the airway in warm water. Please use warm soapy water or similar until all visible foreign matter and residue is removed.

Mild detergents or enzymatic cleaning agents may be used on the airway at the proper dilution. The detergent must not contain skin or mucous membrane irritants.

Please do not use any of the following when cleaning the AirSim® product range:
• Germicides, disinfectants or chemical agents such as glutaraldehyde (e.g. Cidex®)
• Ethylene oxide, phenol-based cleaners or iodine-containing cleaners

In response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend this additional step to ensure the product is fully sanitized:

Generously spray alcohol spray or gel (minimum 75% alcohol) and wipe off. Repeat 3-4 times to fully disinfect the product. This can be done on the silicone skin and the latex airway.
