Aseptuva

Seed Round in 2022
Aseptuva is an early-stage MedTech startup based in Technopark Winterthur with the mission to combat Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI). In a healthcare facility, catheters are crucial lifesaving equipment which deliver essential drugs into the body, but often, the surfaces of these catheters get infected by pathogens present in a hospital environment. This leads to pneumonia or bloodstream infections which take thousands of lives annually across the world, resulting in billions of dollars in extra costs. To tackle this, we are developing a series of medical devices for in-situ disinfection of a wide range of catheters, thus preventing infection at its onset. In conclusion, we strive to set a new standard in critical care and impact millions of lives.
