What THI does

THI Total Healthcare Innovation GmbH is an Austrian medical device manufacturer founded in 2009 and headquartered in Feistritz im Rosental, Carinthia, with an Italian branch (THI Total Healthcare Innovation Srl) in Rome. The company develops and produces surgical helmets and personal protection systems aimed at reducing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) during surgery. Its core product line is the ViVi® Surgical Helmet System, anchored on a patented two-fan technology that routes contaminated exhaust air through filtering material rather than relying on conventional overpressure ventilation; the latest generation, ViVi 25 (launched June 2025), features a 370g carbon fiber reinforced frame, multi-layer high-impact resistant shell, breathable ergonomic padding, and a smart ventilation system. The portfolio also includes the ViVi CR-Hood cleanroom variant, ViVi Rack storage accessory, and the SPS System, with the older OXYGEN Surgical Helmet System now legacy. THI holds ISO 13485:2016 certification and EU MDR (EU 2017/745) Class 1 medical device compliance.

THI generates revenue primarily through quote-based hardware sales of medical devices and complementary training, maintenance, and consulting services under multi-year institutional contracts. Go-to-market is event-driven, anchored on participation in major medical congresses (MEDICA, ESSKA, AAOS, EFORT, DKOU) and supported by an international distribution partner network spanning Western Europe (Austria, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland), Eastern Europe (Romania, Poland), South America (Chile, Ecuador), and the Middle East (Iran). The company is privately held, founder-led by Dr. Giorgio Rosati, and operates with 1-10 employees, reflecting a lean specialized hardware manufacturer model rather than a venture-backed scale business.
