Starting Point
During 2022 we were working on getting the voice of customers as part of startup campus business creation training and we came to know that doctors and supporting staffs (University hospitals of Bern, Zurich, St.Gallen) are concerned with the amount of waste generated during surgery.
On further investigation we found that contaminated waste are incinerated, in some countries contaminated waste are thrown as landfills.
As a team of Engineer and surgeon we want to tackle destruction of resources by creating multiple use medical devices.
Most of the reusable medical devices are created to compensate high capital cost and not to eliminate the resource waste.
We at MUMD (Multi Use Medical Devices) focused on higher volume disposable medical devices and as a result we selected inflation device used in vascular interventions.
Our Mission
To bring more circular economy products into healthcare as an alternative to disposable medical devices.
