Recent positive-sounding news has often seen weak or negative next-day moves, with only one clearly positive price reaction.
Over the last few months, Inspira reported several operational and strategic milestones. A lab expansion on Dec 3, 2025 and completion of the HYLA clinical study on Nov 13, 2025 both saw negative next-day moves. A UAE regulatory submission for ART100 on Nov 6, 2025 led to a +15.63% reaction, while AI training integration on Oct 22, 2025 was followed by a -7.96% move. Management changes on Oct 21, 2025 had a flat impact. Today’s patent adds to this stream of IP and commercialization updates.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form F-3/A shelf filed on Nov 25, 2025 allows Inspira to offer up to $75,000,000 of ordinary shares, warrants and units over time, providing capital-raising flexibility but also potential dilution if fully utilized.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement adds long-term IP protection for Inspira’s convertible dual lumen cannula in Japan through 2041, reinforcing earlier U.S. patent coverage and supporting both system and disposable revenue strategies. In context with recent HYLA clinical progress and ART100 regulatory steps, it extends the company’s technology moat. Investors may monitor how this patent strengthens commercialization discussions, interacts with the existing $75,000,000 shelf capacity, and affects future financing decisions.

RA'ANANA, Israel, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspira™ Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN) ("Inspira," “Inspira Technologies,” or the "Company"), a pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies, announced today that the Japan Patent Office has granted Patent No. 7777598. This patent covers the Company’s novel Convertible Dual Lumen Cannula device and method of use, securing exclusive rights in one of the world’s most advanced medical device markets.
The patent grants Inspira exclusive commercial rights in the patented Dual Lumen Cannula technology in Japan through 2041. This milestone complements the Company’s existing U.S. Patent (granted in 2023), further enhancing a unified protective barrier across two of the world’s largest healthcare economies. Strategically, this IP supports the potential standalone commercialization of the cannula as a high-value disposable product, in addition to its integration into the INSPIRA™ ART System.
Inspira’s patented technology features a unique mechanism that allows a single-lumen cannula to convert into a dual-lumen cannula intravascularly, after insertion. This innovative design is engineered to allow physicians to switch modes without the need for additional incisions, potentially reducing infection risks, procedural complications, and hospital costs compared to traditional dual-lumen solutions.
“In today's market, traditional dual lumen cannulas are extremely expensive to manufacture. Our patented convertible device offers the market more affordable solution that could enhance patient safety and procedural efficiency,” said Dagi Ben-Noon, CEO of Inspira Technologies. “With proprietary protection now locked in both the U.S. and Japan, markets with some of the most demanding regulatory standards, we have solidified the foundation for both our respiratory support platforms and future disposable revenue streams.”
