DRW Medical develops neonatal respiratory-care equipment, including monitors that help clinicians manage airway pressure during Bubble CPAP and nasal high-flow therapy. Based in Aston, Pennsylvania, the company’s work is shaped by a respiratory therapist president and co-founder Robert Landis, a medical-device designer with 19 patents and a history in neonatal respiratory technology. Its NAPA monitors are built to make otherwise hard-to-see pressure changes visible at the bedside, while the company also develops safer suction equipment for infant care.
