Vapotherm Announces Three Pending U.S. Patent Applications

Vapotherm has announced the recent publication of three pending U.S. patent applications. The first of the company's recent patent application publications is for the Vapotherm Patient Delivery Tube. This delivery tube enables maintenance of breathing gas temperature and humidification, while minimizing rainout. In addition, this new technology eliminates the need for heated wires within a patient breathing circuit. The second technology that is the subject of a patent application publication is the Vapotherm Low Flow Vapor Transfer Cartridge, used extensively in the neonatal and infant population. This specialized cartridge allows for optimal conditioning of gases delivered at lower flows such as 1-8 LPM. The final announced patent application publication relates to an invention of Owen Bamford, involving the reduction of work of breathing.
