Our mission is to provide a real non-invasive alternative method of ventilation, in order to improve the quality of life for patients around the world and;

To offer respiratory solutions in situations where to date there have been none, or where inadequate treatments are still being provided.

Medivent is a privately owned company, led by a dynamic executive team. Medivent's main focus area has been the hospital and homecare markets, although this has expanded to the transport, emergency and military respiratory markets, the medical imaging market and the cardiac assist market.

The company was established in 1995 by Dr. Zamir Hayek. Dr. Hayek is a world-renowned physician in the field of respiratory care and paediatrics and is the inventor of the well-known Hayek Oscillator as well as numerous other patents. He set up Medivent to develop and market a ventilator that would come as close as possible to the 'ideal' mechanical ventilator. His vision was to create a device that would provide complete ventilation, be non-invasive, work physiologically, be simple to use and that would overcome many of the problems associated with existing ventilation techniques.

Through new patents and using his revolutionary ventilatory concept (BCV) the RTX series of respirators were developed, meeting the requirements of his 'dream machine'. There have been over 75 publications to date on his method (including in The Lancet, Chest, Thorax, Circulation, Heart and Anaesthesia - See Publications)

The company has established a market presence internationally through distribution agreements with leading national and international distributors in Europe, the Far East and the Middle East.
