DESIGN FOR LÖWENSTEIN MEDICAL
THE ASSIGNMENT
A vision to revolutionise anaesthesia
The goal was to design a revolutionary anaesthesia device that wouldn’t just make small improvements but reshape the entire market. Aimed at maximising gas reuse, upgrading the patient experience, and reducing environmental impact, the device needed to incorporate a closed-lung system for a more sustainable and efficient approach to anaesthesia delivery.

THE CHALLENGE
Reinventing efficiency
Traditional anaesthesia machines waste anaesthetic gases, which leads to inefficiency and reliance on cheaper alternatives. To break this cycle, the new device had to integrate a closed gas system that could recycle these gases, including premium options like Xenon.
The challenge was not just technological, it was about creating a smooth, intuitive experience for both patients and medical staff. Balancing innovation with cost-efficiency and environmental sustainability presented quite a puzzle!
THE RESULT
Safer patient care
The outcome was VitaQ, a pioneering modular therapy station that offers a protective anaesthesia and sedation system using Xenon gas as both an anaesthetic and organ protector. REGGS engineered the mechanical gas system, user interface, and product housing. The device includes a specialised filtration system that ensures the safe containment of volatile gases, dramatically reducing anaesthetic gas consumption and lowering medication costs.
In collaboration with AlcmAir, Technobis, and Relitech, REGGS produced a groundbreaking solution that redefines the future of anaesthesia and resuscitation technology.
