You're In Business

E-Breathe Ltd is a verified UK-based MedTech company (est. 2016) developing 'N2O Clear', a patented catalytic converter for destroying exhaled nitrous oxide in healthcare settings. External search confirms the technology is in the pilot phase (e.g., University Hospital Wales, 2024) and addresses a critical NHS Net Zero need. However, the project submission contained significantly misleading claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') which heavily penalized the Response Quality and Traction scores. While the utility and innovation are high, the project currently fits the 'Minimal Traction' (<50k users) calibration bucket due to its early pre-commercial stage.

Description

E-Breathe Ltd was established in 2017 with a focus on MedTech innovations. Our latest product, N2O Clear, is a catalytic converter to destroy exhaled nitrous oxide within healthcare. Nitrous oxide is widely used as an analgesic within healthcare, particularly childbirth. Nitrous oxide has a climate impact ~300 times that of carbon dioxide and is the largest contributor to the climate impact of anaesthetic gases globally. In addition, long term exposure to nitrous oxide within the workplace has been found to be detrimental to health. In independent tests N2O Clear has been shown to destroy over 99% of input nitrous oxide and it is widely accepted by midwives in the workplace. Find out more at www.e-breathe.co.uk
