Inspira Receives U.S. Patent Approval for the ART500 Core Technology, Key Patent Positions the Company to Dominate $20 Billion Estimated Market

RA'ANANA, Israel, Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspira™ Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ:IINN) ("Inspira," "Inspira Technologies," or the "Company"), a pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies, has received U.S. Patent approval for low flow rates extracorporeal oxygenation system and methods of use. This patent represents the core technology of the ART500 device, a key asset in the Company's strategy to penetrate the $20 billion estimated market for advanced respiratory support. This innovation has 16 claims found to be novel.

The patent provides further protection for the underlying core technology of Inspira's ART500 system, which is designed to provide extracorporeal oxygenation at low flow rates while maintaining patient safety and treatment efficiency. This capability targets a large, underserved patient population that requires respiratory support but may not be sick enough for traditional, high-flow ECMO systems, significantly expanding the potential market for Inspira's technology. This approval strengthens Inspira's intellectual property portfolio and reinforces the Company's technological leadership in the field of advanced extracorporeal life support.

Dagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of Inspira Technologies, stated: "This patent has profound business implications for Inspira and for our ability to dominate a market with a potential size of $20 billion. We are creating a new therapeutic category for conscious, spontaneously breathing patients. Protecting our intellectual property is a critical pillar of our growth strategy, and this patent approval provides us with a distinct competitive advantage. While our ART100 system is already generating commercial momentum, this move fortifies our future and gives us the clear runway needed to translate our technological leadership into long-term value for our shareholders, and a new standard of care for patients worldwide."

The newly received patent provides protection at least until the year 2043, covering key claims related to the ART500's functionality, design, and clinical applications. Inspira is pursuing additional patents in major jurisdictions worldwide to expand its intellectual property coverage.
