Valence InVent Xtend is a device for extending ventilator supply during disasters and other crisis-related ventilator shortages. The device enables a single ventilator to ventilate 2, 3, or 4 patients while retaining essential ventilator alarms and ensuring the safety of connected patients.

The device both divides the ventilator circuit while also enabling the use of medical valves to adjust individual circuit pressures. This allows the Valence InVent Xtend to deliver different breath pressures and volumes to individual patients. The design is equipped with additional safety elements that prevent CO2 rebreathing and ensure predictable ventilator behavior and alarms.
