“I was immediately impressed by Inspira Technologies’ vision, which has the opportunity to gain a significant market share in the respiratory support device industry,” Goldwasser said. “Inspira’s solution extends respiratory treatment to patients who would otherwise be treated with mechanical ventilation or would not be treated at all due to lack of access to intensive care. As Chairman of the Board, I look forward to joining Inspira’s long-term journey and helping to change the way respiratory patients are treated.”
