Inflatable Airway Positioning System

AirRise

Elevating Position. Enhancing Airway Management.

Developing innovative airway positioning solutions that support safer, more effective airway management.

Awaiting patent · In development

Successful airway management begins with proper patient positioning.

Achieving optimal head and neck alignment is one of the most important factors influencing airway visualisation and intubation success, particularly in difficult airway situations. Yet conventional positioning aids are often bulky, difficult to transport and impractical in emergency settings.

AirRise is Acrrnovation's innovative inflatable airway positioning system, developed to provide optimal patient positioning while remaining lightweight, portable and easy to deploy.

Designed by clinicians for clinicians, AirRise supports airway management wherever it is needed — from emergency departments and operating theatres to ambulances, intensive care units and remote healthcare environments.

Because better positioning leads to better airways.

Why We Built It

Why We Built AirRise

The inspiration behind AirRise came from everyday clinical practice. Whether managing routine anaesthesia, emergency intubations or difficult airways, one principle remains constant — proper patient positioning is essential for successful airway management.

Traditional positioning devices often occupy valuable storage space, are cumbersome to transport and are not always practical for emergency or prehospital care.

We believed there was a better solution.

AirRise was developed as a compact inflatable airway positioning system that can be easily stored, rapidly deployed and adjusted to achieve optimal positioning whenever advanced airway management is required.

Our Vision

Practical tools that improve airway management

We believe every clinician should have access to practical tools that improve airway management, regardless of where they work.

AirRise is being developed to support safer airway management across emergency medicine, anaesthesia, intensive care, prehospital care and global health settings.

Our vision is simple:

To make optimal airway positioning accessible wherever patients need advanced airway care.

Designed Around Clinicians

Every aspect of AirRise has been guided by one question:

Will this help clinicians achieve better airway positioning more simply and more consistently?

If the answer was no, the design evolved.

The result is an inflatable positioning system focused on practicality, portability and clinical performance.

Development Journey

Progressing toward production

AirRise is currently progressing through design refinement and preparation for production. Every stage of development has focused on creating a practical, portable and affordable solution that improves airway positioning without adding unnecessary complexity.

Our objective remains clear:

Helping clinicians achieve better airway management through better patient positioning.

Looking Ahead

The future of airway management will be shaped by practical innovation as much as advanced technology. AirRise reflects that philosophy by combining portability, simplicity and thoughtful design into a device developed to support clinicians wherever they care for patients.
