Carevix® reduces pain by 73% and bleeding by 83% during IUD procedures, improving outcomes and patient experience.

94% of patients rated their experience positively across more than 1,300 documented clinical use cases of carevix®.

Our partnerships with Bayer in 2 countries including Switzerland highlights carevix®’s potential to transform the Intrauterine Device (IUD) market.

Addressing a $4B market, Aspivix tackles pain barriers to contraception, reducing unintended pregnancies.

Recognized by TIME among the 200 Best Inventions of 2024 for advancing women’s healthcare, and by BILAN.CH as one of Western Switzerland’s 10 potential unicorns in 2026.

Aspivix: Redefining Women’s Healthcare

Every year, millions of women avoid intrauterine devices (IUDs), despite being more than 99% effective — because of the pain associated with current placement techniques. This contributes to approximately 121 million unintended pregnancies annually, with major personal, medical and societal consequences.

Aspivix is transforming this experience with carevix®, a modern, non-traumatic device designed to replace the outdated cervical tenaculum — a sharp, clamp-like instrument still routinely used to stabilize the cervix during gynecological procedures. Using gentle suction instead of traumatic hooks, carevix® significantly improves the patient experience while maintaining the safety, precision and reliability required by healthcare professionals.

Why Invest in Aspivix?

1. Regulatory Excellence

carevix® is FDA-cleared in the United States, CE Mark-approved under MDR, and authorized in the UK, Switzerland and Brazil, enabling rapid international deployment.

2. Strong Clinical Validation

  • 73% reduction in pain
  • 83% reduction in bleeding
  • Clinical benefits demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT)
  • More than 1,300 procedures documented through large real-world evidence (RWE) programs across 9 countries

3. Clear Market Need

More than 30% of women avoid IUDs because of fear of pain. carevix® directly addresses this barrier and supports access to one of the world’s most effective contraceptive methods.

4. Commercial Momentum

carevix® is now commercialized in the US and 13 countries globally, with commercial launch underway in Germany and strong early traction in Switzerland, including approximately 10% market penetration and more than 21% repeat customers within a short timeframe. Revenue generated mainly from Switzerland and the Netherlands reached nearly USD 330k in 2025 and target USD 1.5M in 2026.

5. Strategic Validation

A collaboration, in 2 countries, with Bayer, the global leader in women’s health and IUDs, reinforces the strategic relevance and commercial potential of carevix®.

6. Sustainability

Aspivix is actively reducing its environmental footprint and developing next-generation products integrating bio-sourced materials and more sustainable manufacturing approaches.

Series B2 Positioning

This financing round represents the natural continuation of Aspivix’s successful Series B1 conducted in 2024–2025, which enabled the company to transition from early clinical validation to a substantially strengthened evidence base and initial commercial traction.

Since then, Aspivix has expanded its scientific leadership through multiple new studies and two major RWE publications in BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health and the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics in 2025. The company has simultaneously strengthened its regulatory position, broadened clinical indications, and accelerated international commercialization.

The objective of Series B2 is clear:

  • accelerate commercial growth, and reach key value inflection points, including $1.5M annual revenue
  • reinforce strategic partnerships,
  • expand clinical adoption, including new fertility-related indications, by enrolling first patient into fertility related clinical studies (Hyfosy & IUI),
  • and reach key value inflection points in R&D, including the FDA submission/clearance of carevix evo.

These milestones are expected to position Aspivix for either a major financing round or a strategic acquisition opportunity.

Supported by a highly experienced team, growing international traction, strong operational readiness and a technology recognized among TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2024, Aspivix combines strong societal impact, global scalability, and the potential for attractive investor returns in a rapidly growing women’s health market.

By investing in Aspivix, you’re contributing to a future where women have better access to gentle, effective contraceptive solutions. Together, we can empower millions and make a lasting social impact while driving meaningful returns.

In Capital Cell's own words

Aspivix is tackling a long-neglected problem in women’s health: the “tenaculum,” a sharp-hooked tool used for over 200 years to stabilize the cervix. This tool is used in 120 million procedures annually (such as IUD insertions and biopsies), yet it causes significant pain for nearly 90% of women. This isn’t just a comfort issue-fear of the procedure prevents millions of women from choosing effective contraception. Aspivix’s device, Carevix®, replaces these painful hooks with a gentle vacuum technology, turning a traumatic procedure into a painless one. Because the tenaculum is used universally, the potential to replace it represents a multi-billion dollar revenue opportunity.

The investment is heavily de-risked through FDA clearance and CE marking. Since the 2025 Series B1 round (where Aspivix raised ~€2.7M with Capital Cell’s support with ~€500k) the company has successfully transitioned from clinical validation to commercial momentum, surpassing 10,000 procedures and 1,300 documented cases. With a significantly strengthened evidence base and a ‘plug-and-play’ design that requires no new capital equipment or change in physician technique, Carevix® is now primed for rapid, seamless integration into global hospital workflows.

The commercial timing is aligned with recent policies, as recent CDC and ACOG guidance now emphasizes the need for pain reduction during IUD insertion. With a high-margin recurring revenue model (88% gross margin in the US) and a 21% repeat customer rate already established in its pilot market, Aspivix is positioned as a prime acquisition target for global players like CooperSurgical, Bayer, or Hologic. This round will fund the scale-up of US and EU market access, creating a clear value inflection point for a strategic exit by 2029.

Main risks

While the technology is FDA-cleared and clinically validated, the company’s primary challenge is displacing the entrenched use of the traditional tenaculum, which is a highly commoditized and low-cost tool. Achieving the projected revenue growth depends on the successful adoption of the Carevix® “standard of care” by high-volume clinic networks and securing consistent reimbursement through Value Assessment Committees. Additionally, while the company has a strong IP portfolio of 5 patents, long-term market exclusivity will rely on the successful defense of these designs and the timely regulatory approval of the next-generation “Carevix Evo” planned for late 2027.
