Vapotherm
Vapotherm is a medical technology company that specializes in the development and manufacturing of advanced respiratory care devices. The company's primary product is a high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) system that is used to deliver heated and humidified oxygen to patients with respiratory distress.
History[edit | edit source]
Vapotherm was founded in 1999 by a group of biomedical engineers. The company's initial focus was on developing a device that could deliver high flow oxygen therapy to neonates. This led to the creation of the Precision Flow system, which was launched in 2004.
Products[edit | edit source]
Vapotherm's main product is the Precision Flow system. This device uses a high flow nasal cannula to deliver heated and humidified oxygen to patients. The system is designed to be easy to use and provides a comfortable alternative to more invasive forms of respiratory support.
Clinical Applications[edit | edit source]
The Precision Flow system is used in a variety of clinical settings, including neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), and adult intensive care units (ICUs). It is used to treat a range of conditions, including bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
