Behind the Innovation: Tidewave Medical’s Journey to Better Patient Care

Talking about Carmo's products, and their commitment to innovation, sustainability and quality, is something we love to do as a distributor of their products.

Carmo recently spoke to Andreas Smith, Chief Technology Officer at Tidewave Medical AS, a pioneering healthcare company from Norway that’s transforming care for people with reduced mobility.

Founded in 2017, Tidewave developed the Tidewave™ Mattress—a game-changing solution designed to prevent pressure ulcers, improve sleep quality, and ease the burden on caregivers. But innovation doesn’t happen in isolation.

💡 Andreas shared how Carmo played a vital role in the early development of the mattress:

“Carmo had the expertise to help us develop the right components. Their flexibility was invaluable to us as a startup—it helped us grow.”

🌱 Durability Meets Responsibility

The Tidewave Mattress is built to last, thanks to Carmo’s high-quality components like the angled weldable air inlet, which ensures reliable airflow—an essential feature for the mattress’s performance.

“We’re very happy with the quality of Carmo’s components,” Andreas added.

🌍 And it’s not just about performance. Tidewave values suppliers who take environmental responsibility seriously. Carmo’s commitment to reducing its climate footprint and its proximity to Tidewave’s base in Stavanger make it a perfect match.

👏 A great example of how collaboration, expertise, and shared values can lead to exceptional outcomes in healthcare innovation.
