HOPE inVent
Rethinking lung protective ventilation
How does it work?
We support emergency medical providers by freeing up their hands to manage multiple patient needs. The HOPE inVent provides a simple yet elegant breathing support solution that requires no electricity or batteries and can be used in even the most resource scarce environments.
Why is it needed?
The current standard of care in emergency resuscitation is a 70-year-old manual technology that requires both hands of the responder and has multiple other limitations, the most important of which is the inadvertent damage they can do to patients’ lungs.
How does it improve life?
Our lipstick-sized automatic resuscitator is aimed at disrupting the emergency medical space by improving the lives of patients in crisis with lung protective ventilation.
