New Products Launched at

 MEDICA 2016

Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global medical device company, is delighted to announce that the new Inspire rPAP™, a unique resuscitation and stabilisation system, and an enhanced version of the LifeStart neonatal resuscitation unit will be showcased for the first time at MEDICA, the world's leading trade fair for the medical industry in Düsseldorf which is taking place between 14 - 17 November 2016.

The Inspire rPAP™ is the first medical device which has been entirely developed in-house by Inspiration Healthcare and consists of an rPAP Generator and a newly introduced rPAP Driver unit which regulates air flow and pressure entering into the rPAP Generator resuscitation device. The system was extremely well received when it was first introduced to a selection of Inspiration Healthcare's European distributors in September 2016 and it is now expected that sales of the Inspire rPAP will grow across all major European markets as well as other countries around the world.

Also being exhibited for the first time is an enhanced version of the LifeStart which combines resuscitation and patient warming with the capability to clamp the cord at the optimal time, and now includes the ability to secure air and oxygen bottles and a sterile drape for use in theatre. The Inspire rPAP completely integrates with the LifeStart and the combination of the two products will help deliver the best possible outcome for newborn babies.

Commenting, Neil Campbell, Inspiration Healthcare's Chief Executive said:

"MEDICA gives us a great opportunity to introduce these new products and also promote Inspiration Healthcare as one of the leading players in the supply of innovative medical technology for critical care, operating theatre and other niche applications.

We are delighted to be showcasing our exciting range of neonatal resuscitation products. The combination of the Inspire rPAP with the LifeStart presents a unique and effective method of resuscitating and stabilising newborn babies with the potential to keep the umbilical cord intact.

The Inspire rPAP is the first product Inspiration has developed entirely in-house, and in collaboration with the neonatal unit at the Ostersund and the Karolinska Hospitals in Sweden, so the positive reaction it has received so far is particularly encouraging"
