What Ventinova does

Ventinova Medical, founded in 2013 in the Netherlands with commercial operations through its Spanish subsidiary IES Medical SL, develops and markets medical devices for airway management and mechanical ventilation based on proprietary Flow-Controlled Ventilation (FCV) technology. The product portfolio comprises four core devices: Evone, the only mechanical ventilator providing full control of both inspiratory and expiratory phases via FCV; Ventrain, a single-use manual ventilator using the Venturi principle for active inspiration and active expiration through small-bore lumens; Tritube, an ultrathin endotracheal tube with less than 3 mm internal diameter; and Cricath, a 2 mm cricothyrotomy catheter for emergency front-of-neck access. The company complements its hardware with Ventinova Academy, a free online learning platform launched in November 2025 that delivers FCV training and clinician certification.

Ventinova monetizes exclusively through hardware sales (capital equipment and single-use consumables) distributed via exclusive regional distributors across 18+ countries spanning Western, Northern, Southern, and Eastern Europe, the Middle East (Israel, Qatar), and North America (USA). Its primary customers are tertiary-care hospitals performing ENT/laryngeal, thoracic, abdominal, and robotic-assisted surgeries, ICUs treating difficult airways, and emergency-medicine teams managing CICO scenarios. The company supports adoption through ten reference hospitals (Radboud UMC, Rigshospitalet, UZ Leuven, Hôpitaux Universitaires Genève, Hamad Medical Corporation, Hacettepe, and others) that serve as clinical demonstration sites, and through sustained participation in medical conferences (MEDICA, WAMM, SIMUVAD, SEMES).

The business is privately held, holds ISO 13485:2016, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, and has been funded primarily through European and Dutch public grants (EU Horizon 2020, European Regional Development Fund, Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs Innovation Credit) along with a ~$2.69M European Innovation Council grant in 2020 and earlier rounds led by BOM and Holland Capital. The core technology is based on patents developed by Prof. Dr. Dietmar Enk, with clinical and scientific advisory support from Prof. emer. Tom Barnes.

Core offering

Ventinova Medical develops, manufactures, and sells a portfolio of patented airway management and ventilation devices based on proprietary Flow-Controlled Ventilation (FCV) technology. The portfolio includes Evone (the only mechanical ventilator providing full control of both inspiratory and expiratory phases), Ventrain (single-use manual ventilator using the Venturi principle for ventilation through small-bore lumens), Tritube (ultrathin endotracheal tube with internal diameter under 3 mm), and Cricath (2 mm cricothyrotomy catheter for emergency front-of-neck access in CICO situations). These are sold to hospitals, surgical teams, ICUs, and emergency medicine providers through an exclusive global distributor network spanning 18+ countries.

Product overview

Ventinova Medical offers a portfolio of medical devices based on proprietary Flow-Controlled Ventilation (FCV®) technology. The core portfolio includes Evone®, a mechanical ventilator providing full control of both inspiratory and expiratory phases; Ventrain®, a single-use manual ventilation device; Tritube®, an ultrathin endotracheal tube with less than 3 mm ID; and Cricath®, a 2 mm cricothyrotomy catheter for emergency airway access. These products work together as an integrated ventilation system, with Evone and Ventrain serving as the primary ventilation sources compatible with Tritube and Cricath as access devices. The company also offers Ventinova Academy, a free online learning platform providing courses and certification on FCV technology.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Intersurgical: European manufacturer of airway management devices, breathing circuits, and ventilation accessories. Comparable to Ventinova in being a focused, niche airway/respiratory specialist selling into European hospitals through distribution.
• Hamilton Medical: Swiss manufacturer of intelligent mechanical ventilators (e.g., HAMILTON-C1, G5) widely used in OR and ICU. Direct competitor to Evone in mechanical ventilation, with overlapping clinical positioning around lung-protective ventilation and high-acuity hospital use cases.
• Vyaire Medical: Pure-play respiratory company offering mechanical ventilators (Bellavista, fabian) and consumables across ICU, NICU, and OR. Direct competitor to Evone and to Tritube/Ventrain consumables, focused exclusively on ventilation and airway management.
• Teleflex: Specialist in airway management (LMA, Rusch, Arrow endotracheal tubes) and emergency cricothyrotomy devices. Direct competitor to Tritube and Cricath in the difficult-airway and emergency front-of-neck access categories.

Regional players

• ResMed: Global leader in sleep and non-invasive ventilation (Lumis, Stellar) — comparable in lung-protective ventilation philosophy but focused on chronic/home and sleep-medicine settings rather than the OR/ICU difficult-airway segment Ventinova serves.

Broad incumbents

• Medtronic: Diversified medtech giant with a strong airway management portfolio (e.g., Shiley, Mallinckrodt endotracheal tubes, McGrath laryngoscopes). Competes with Tritube in ultrathin/specialized endotracheal tubes and with Cricath in cricothyrotomy catheters.
• Dräger: German manufacturer of anesthesia workstations, ICU ventilators (e.g., Evita, Perseus), and airway devices. Broad incumbent in the same OR and ICU customer base as Ventinova, with overlapping focus on lung-protective ventilation.
• Fisher & Paykel Healthcare: New Zealand-listed respiratory care specialist offering high-flow nasal cannula, humidification, and NIV interfaces. Adjacent competitor to FCV in lung-protective respiratory support and to Tritube's NIV/sealed-airway proposition.
• Getinge: Global medtech incumbent offering Servo ventilators and a broad OR/ICU portfolio. Competes with Evone in hospital mechanical ventilation and with Ventrain in airway/emergency ventilation, but as part of a much larger diversified portfolio.

Emerging players

• Penlon: UK-based anesthesia and ventilation equipment manufacturer (e.g., Prima series anesthesia workstations, ventilators). Comparable niche scale to Ventinova with overlapping OR/anesthesia customer base.
