Eliminating Preventable Airway Injury with the first & only automated, adaptive cuff-pressure controller

Tracheal intubation is one of the most common procedures in U.S. hospitals, performed an estimated 9 million patients a year. Clinicians have to hold a reliable seal while fighting leaks and shifting tubes, and in practice 72% of patients sit at unsafe cuff pressures and 57% face some form of tracheal complication. In long-term intubation (48 hours or more), that raises the risk of tracheal wall injury and aspiration.

2 Reasons Complications Occur

1. Cuffs are staticThe trachea constantly expands and contracts, so holding a seal means setting pressure high enough for the airway at its widest. That sustained high pressure creates hotspots that damage tissue over time.
2. Monitoring is manualClinicians re-check and re-pressurize every 2 to 4 hours, up to 2 hours a day. Across long-term and multi-patient loads, that adds up to hundreds of bedside visits.

CuffWay is the first and only automated, adaptive cuff-pressure controller built to protect the airway. Where current devices only monitor or hold a fixed pressure, CuffWay fixes the root cause of injury: a dynamic airway sealed by a static cuff.

1. Adaptive, not staticCuffWay continuously senses changes in tracheal anatomy from breathing, coughing, and movement, and modulates cuff pressure in real time to match, holding an effective seal while taking off unnecessary pressure.
2. Automated, not manualA reusable bedside controller integrates with existing endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes through a disposable tube set, with no equipment replacement, under 30-second setup, and no manual checks.
