The objective of its creation was to address the lack of these devices in the Region during the first wave of the pandemic.
An startup Murcia has been a pioneer in Spain in the development of the first advanced medical ventilator for covid patients in ICU. In March 2020, a team of professionals, led by Rafael Valverde, a director of Adimur, developed an emergency respirator 'made in Murcia', called 'SAV-19', with the aim of addressing the lack of these devices in the Region during the first wave of the pandemic. Those were the beginnings of 'Inbentus'.
"We want to make respirators more accessible to the population. That's why we created 'Inbentus' in early 2020. In less than a month, we developed a prototype emergency ventilator for covid at a competitive price and have already shipped the first units to countries in Latin America," says Valverde.
Prior to the pandemic, annual production of such devices worldwide exceeded 300,000 units. It is estimated that this demand will continue to grow at double-digit rates for at least the next ten years due to the increase in world population and life expectancy.

"To meet this great demand, we are developing a new, improved, high-performance medical ventilator for our hospitals' ICUs. It is the first advanced ventilator developed in Spain and, by a company from Murcia, made in Murcia," says Valverde.
