Clonmacduff Medical Ltd

Clonmacduff Medical Limited is an Irish clinician-founded company based in Dunderry, County Meath. The business develops a patient-controlled oral hydration device designed for hospital patients who struggle to drink independently. This technology allows individuals to take safe, fixed-volume sips of water on demand without lifting a cup or calling for assistance. The device automatically records each sip, providing nursing staff with an objective measure of oral intake between observations.

Founded in 2026 by Dr Maria Darcy, the company aims to restore independence to patients in post-surgical recovery and supportive care settings. The technology is currently in the development stage, with working prototypes and design documentation maintained under a structured process. A patent application is in progress, and the company is preparing for structured clinical evaluation with Irish healthcare innovation partners. Clonmacduff Medical seeks collaborations with clinical evaluation sites, manufacturing partners, and healthcare organisations across Ireland and internationally.
