Opportunity Health: Could This Device Save Lives from Choking? | MedTech World Middle East 2026

Watch Nicolás López de Aguileta Castaño, CTO of Opportunity Health, present Yarnasa, a groundbreaking manual anti-choking device, at the MedTech World Startup Pitch Competition, powered by Blue Goat Cyber and Ascend Clinical, during MedTech World Middle East 2026. Choking is a serious, often overlooked risk. In Europe alone, over 29 deaths occur daily due to choking, and brain damage can begin in just four minutes, often before help arrives. Yarnasa offers a practical solution: it uses mechanical suction to safely remove obstructions from the airway without requiring physical strength or extensive training. Its design is patent-protected, self-applicable, and suitable for adults initially, with plans to expand for children. The team is currently advancing preclinical trials, collaborating with universities, key opinion leaders, and advisors, and preparing for CE Mark and FDA approvals. Nicolás shared their vision for deploying Yarnasa in restaurants, hotels, airplanes, nursing homes, and other high-risk environments, aiming to make lifesaving intervention accessible and reliable. Stay tuned to see how innovative MedTech solutions like Yarnasa are tackling urgent healthcare challenges and improving safety worldwide. #MedTechWorld #MTWMiddleEast2026 #MedTechWorldStartupPitchCompetition #StartupPitch #OpportunityHealth #HealthcareInnovation #LifeSavingDevice #ChokingPrevention #MedTechMiddleEast #HealthTech #MedicalDevices #PatientSafety
