Co-Founder

Presbyopia affects over 2 billion people and remains insufficiently addressed. We have introduced a tissue-based corneal solution, already commercially launched in Europe and Canada with growing surgeon adoption and repeat sales. In parallel, we secured FDA IDE approval for our U.S. feasibility study, positioning us for structured expansion into North America. This is a company moving from validation to scale—commercial revenues today, regulatory milestones ahead, and a clear pathway to strategic value creation.

Aspivix (Lausanne, Switzerland) is a Swiss MedTech company developing innovative solutions to modernize gynecology and improve women’s experience during office-based procedures. Its first product, carevix®, is a single-use, vacuum-based cervical stabilization device designed to replace the traditional cervical tenaculum, a traumatic instrument commonly used during IUD insertion and other intrauterine procedures. By stabilizing the cervix through gentle suction rather than piercing tissue, carevix® significantly reduces pain, bleeding, and procedural trauma. Aspivix aims to set a new standard of care in gynecology by making procedures safer, gentler, and more acceptable for women worldwide.
