Equity Gap led the seed financing for the Edinburgh based manufacturer of custom fit respirators, with backing from Scottish Enterprise, Old College Capital, and Apollo Informal Investment.
"We realised that by combining modern 3D imaging with 3D-printed soft materials, we could create bespoke, perfectly fitted masks that conform to the unique contours of each face. In our first comparative trial, our masks proved more comfortable than standard disposable alternatives. Since then, we’ve refined our design dramatically yet we’ve remained true to our original mission: to create the most comfortable, personalised respiratory masks possible, suited for every face. We believe the days of painful, pressure-inducing masks are finally over."
