We are an ISO 13485:2016 certified company who specializes in the development, manufacture and distribution of medical devices which remove subdermal implants. Our first product, the RemovAid™, is a class IIa medical device designed remove single-rod contraceptive implants as an alternative to the standard implant removal procedure.
Our platform technology
We believe the scalable nature of our technology platform combined with our expertise sets the stage for the development of applications beyond contraceptive implant removal, including implants used for heart monitoring, diabetes management and drug delivery systems. While each unique implant will require a specific solution, we believe our platform can be effectively tailored towards these various applications.
