News & Updates

Results from a pilot trial of VentFree Muscle Stimulator demonstrating feasibility and potential to reduce ventilator support duration in critically ill patients.

Announcement of the PREVENT clinical trial to demonstrate VentFree's effectiveness in reducing mechanical ventilation duration, supported by a $6.5M grant from the US Department of Defense.

Liberate Medical announced the successful closure of a $6.2M Series B financing round, co-led by a large strategic investor and Scientific Health Development, to support the pivotal clinical trial of VentFree.

A pilot trial demonstrated that VentFree may reduce ventilation duration and ICU stay, supporting its potential to improve outcomes.

The FDA authorized emergency use of VentFree to reduce disuse atrophy of abdominal muscles, potentially reducing ventilation days during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CE marking indicates compliance with EU safety and performance standards, allowing sale within the European Economic Area.
