This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. It is a statement of values.
Inspire Medical Systems manufactures implantable neurostimulation devices used to treat sleep apnea. The company’s operations involve animal exploitation, though the specific nature and scale of this activity cannot be detailed due to a lack of gathered evidence. Further research is required to determine whether this involves animal testing for product development, the use of animal-derived materials in manufacturing, or another form of commercial exploitation.
Inspire Medical Systems develops implantable neurostimulation devices for treating sleep apnea. The company operates in the medical device sector, where animal testing is a standard component of the product development and regulatory approval process for new implantable technologies. Without specific documentation from sources like SEC filings or regulatory submissions, the precise scope and nature of Inspire's animal testing activities are not detailed in this record. This exclusion is based on the standard industry practice for obtaining FDA clearance for such devices.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
