Oslo, Norway/ Valencia, Spain – 30 July 2026 RESPINOR AS, a Norwegian MedTech company pioneering continuous, non-invasive diaphragm monitoring in intensive care, today announced a distributor agreement with Dextro Medica S.L. for the commercialization of RESPINOR DXT® in Spain.
Under the agreement, Dextro Medica will be responsible for the promotion, distribution, clinical support, and market development of RESPINOR DXT across Spain. The agreement grants Dextro Medica exclusive distribution rights for RESPINOR DXT in Spain, subject to the agreed commercial terms and performance commitments.
Dextro Medica has a strong presence in the Spanish hospital market, particularly within intensive care, and has established relationships with clinicians and healthcare institutions across the country. Its experience in introducing and supporting advanced medical technologies in critical care makes Dextro Medica well positioned to support the introduction and adoption of RESPINOR DXT in Spanish intensive care units.
RESPINOR DXT® is the world’s first platform technology for accurate and continuous monitoring of diaphragm movement in adult ICU patients. The technology is designed to provide clinicians with real-time, operator-independent insight into diaphragm function during mechanical ventilation and weaning. By helping identify patients at increased risk of extubation failure, RESPINOR DXT® supports clinical decisionmaking during one of the most critical phases of intensive care treatment.
“Spain is an important market for RESPINOR, with a highly developed intensive care community and growing interest in improved assessment of diaphragm function,”
said Trude Tingvoll, CEO, RESPINOR.
“Dextro Medica’s strong ICU presence, clinical expertise, and established hospital network make them an excellent partner for bringing RESPINOR DXT to clinicians and patients across Spain.”
“We are pleased to enter into this partnership with RESPINOR and to introduce RESPINOR DXT to the Spanish market,”
said Mikel Erdozain, Business Unit and Development Director at Dextro Medica.
“The technology addresses an important clinical need by making objective diaphragm monitoring more accessible at the bedside. We look forward to working closely with Spanish intensive care teams to support the successful introduction and adoption of RESPINOR DXT.”
The partnership will initially focus on increasing clinical awareness, engaging leading intensive care units, establishing reference sites, and supporting product evaluations and commercial implementation across Spain.
The agreement with Dextro Medica further strengthens RESPINOR’s European distribution network and supports the company’s strategy to make diaphragm monitoring available to more clinicians and critically ill patients.
