We provide inspired infant care with our revolutionary Life Pulse Ventilator, the first high-frequency ventilator ever approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical use (1988).

Established in 1980, Bunnell has focused its efforts on the development of advanced ventilation systems for treating premature infants in acute respiratory failure, an often fatal complication of preterm birth. The Company manufactures, markets, and services its products for hospitals in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Since its introduction, the Life Pulse Ventilator has helped health care professionals save approximately 100,000 infants.

Our Mission We Save babies. Bunnell's continuing mission is to be the preferred, worldwide provider of ventilation products and services used by health care professionals in the treatment of critically ill children.   For the past 28 years Bunnell has devoted over 30% of its revenues to the development of new, leading-edge technologies for the treatment of critically ill infants and children. In 1995, following a development program supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Company introduced the LifePort endotracheal tube adapter. This device allows clinicians to implement treatment with the Life Pulse system more quickly without reintubation, a potentially traumatic procedure for these fragile patients. The latest advancement is our new "WhisperJet" patient box, which reduces noise associated with HFV by as much as 75%.

 

Clinical investigation continues with the use of the Life Pulse Ventilator for the treatment of a variety of infant respiratory diseases. Bunnell has sponsored two major multi-center clinical trials where the Life Pulse has been compared with conventional ventilation for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome and pulmonary interstitial emphysema in premature infants. Respiratory distress syndrome is the leading cause of chronic lung disease, brain injury and death in newborn infants. Bunnell's clinical investigators and trainers are constantly seeking ways to improve the outcome of ventilator therapy.

Our products are manufactured in our Salt Lake City facility and distributed directly to client hospitals. We provide 24-hour, 7-day per week technical and clinical assistance to health care providers including emergency delivery of our life-saving products to hospitals throughout the United States, usually within 2-4 hours of a clinician's request.
