“I come from a large family where quite a few women, including my daughter, had to undergo IUD treatment.

It was shocking to me to realize that this treatment is not only painful for the patient, but that, additionally, there has been no major innovation in IUD therapy. I am sure that male gynecologist cannot even imagine (nor could they personally handle) the pain that women go through with this therapy!

Thus, when I heard of Aspivix, and its novel suction cervical tenaculum “Carevix”, I immediately became intrigued and wanted to learn more about this company, its team, and its solution. 

Today I know: Aspivix will shape the future of gynecology and, above all, make IUD therapy gentle – finally!”
