Liberate Medical is a medical device company that develops neuromuscular electrical stimulation technology to improve the quality and reduce the cost of care for patients with pulmonary disorders. Liberate's lead product, the VentFree™ Respiratory Muscle Stimulator, addresses the issue that invasive mechanical ventilation commonly weakens the breathing muscles, increasing the need for further ventilator support. VentFree applies proprietary, non-invasive electrical stimulation to the expiratory muscles in synchrony with exhalation while a patient is on mechanical ventilation. This breakthrough therapy, which is quick and simple to use, is intended to reduce abdominal muscle atrophy and the time taken to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation. Reduced days on mechanical ventilation can potentially lead to reduced morbidity and mortality, improved quality of life, and considerable savings for the health care provider.
