Delivering surfactant to preterm neonates has always been one of the most delicate challenges in neonatal care. AirLife introduces a unique, less invasive solution by combining the Neo-Verso™ Airway Access Adapters, the Verso™ Closed Fluid Access Catheter, and the Air-Q®3  Neo Supraglottic Airways. Together, these innovations create a completely new approach to surfactant delivery for infants weighing below 2 kg and between 2–4 kg.

✨ Why This Matters

Traditional surfactant delivery methods can be invasive and stressful for both clinicians and fragile patients. AirLife’s integrated solution brings together advanced features designed to make surfactant administration safer, easier, and more effective for the tiniest patients.

🫁 AirQ3 Neo: Designed for the Smallest Patients

• Exclusive sizing: No other supraglottic airway brand offers options for neonates under 2 kg (size 0) and infants 2–4 kg (size 0.5).
• All-silicone construction: Soft, flexible, and anatomically curved for easier placement.
• Epiglottis elevator: Lifts the epiglottis to maximize glottic opening and ensure near-perfect placement.
• ETT ramp: Built-in support for endotracheal tube placement if needed.
• Ease of use: Reduces clinician stress and improves success rates, even in emergencies.
• Extra-wide gastric inlet & dual channels: Allow suction during surfactant delivery, improving outcomes.

🔄 Neo-Verso™ Airway Access Adapters

• Pucker valve technology: Maintains continuous ventilation while performing airway access procedures.
• Closed suction system: Replace only the catheter when needed, not the entire adapter.
• Safe ventilation: Surfactant catheters connect without disconnecting the patient from the circuit.
• Flexible options: Swivel design for easier patient repositioning.
• Durability: Adapters approved for 7 days; catheters for 72 hours.
• DEHP-free construction: Safer for neonatal use.

⚡ Supporting Effective Ventilation

At the heart of neonatal resuscitation is ventilation. AirLife’s solution supports this critical step with:

• SafeT™ T-Piece Infant Resuscitator for controlled, precise ventilation.
• Air-Q®3 Supraglottic Airway for rapid placement and effective ventilation without delay.

Clinical evidence continues to reinforce that effective ventilation is the foundation of successful newborn resuscitation—and AirLife’s integrated system is designed to make it easier than ever.
