Protecting Lungs from Invisible Danger.
Suctioning is necessary, but dangerous. Excess pressure can cause “Atelectasis” (lung collapse) and tissue damage instantly. Airway Comfort® is a simple yet revolutionary “Pressure Control Valve” that attaches to any suction catheter or ventilator circuit. It automatically regulates pressure to a safe range, preventing lung injury while maintaining suction efficiency.

Multi-Billion JPY Potential
Target: Global Standard for Safer Suction
Why the World Needs This?
The Hidden Risk: “Suction Trauma”
In standard care, suction pressure often fluctuates wildly, exceeding safe limits (-20kPa). This silent hazard causes:
- Lung Collapse (Atelectasis)
- Hypoxemia (Oxygen drop)
- Mucosal Bleeding
STONY’s Solution: “Automatic Regulation”
Airway Comfort™ features a patented internal diaphragm mechanism.
- Auto-Stop: Instantly cuts off suction if pressure exceeds the safety threshold.
- Universal Fit: Compatible with standard suction tubes, closed suction systems, and even the MicroVent®.
- Zero Electricity: Works purely on pneumatic physics.
Patient Safety (Standard of Care)
Prevents “Medical Accidents” caused by human error or equipment malfunction. Especially critical for neonates (NICU) and ARDS patients where lungs are fragile.
For Manufacturers (Add-on Value)
Can be integrated as a “Premium Safety Feature” into existing suction catheters or ventilator circuits. A simple upgrade that justifies a higher price point.
