A unique device for smooth, simple and secure
STAIRWAY keeps the upper airway open during procedural sedation — making it safer for the patient and simpler for the people who perform it.

Being sedated is
not without risk.
Oxygen deprivation affects 50% of people sedated outside hospitals and 10–20% of people sedated in hospitals.
The patient's airways collapse when the level of consciousness drops — the sedationist must always be prepared to intervene immediately.
An airway-stable
architecture.
STAIRWAY maintains the jaws in a stable position throughout sedation, preventing more than 80% of respiratory arrests during light and moderate-to-deep procedures.

Our first randomised trial is published
A new randomised controlled trial in the European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine reports significantly fewer and shorter apnoeic events in participants sedated with the Stairway device — with oral capnography enabling more reliable monitoring of spontaneous breathing.
