LAYCO

LAYCO Medical Devices is a pioneering startup based in the Netherlands, dedicated to developing innovative, reusable medical devices that enhance maternal and perinatal healthcare. The company aims to improve global access to healthcare while minimizing the environmental impact of medical devices, focusing on sustainability and usability in low-resource settings. Their flagship product, the vela® vacuum extractor, is designed for assisted vaginal births. This reusable device can be easily assembled, disassembled, and sterilized, allowing it to be safely used by a single practitioner. The vela® helps healthcare providers assist childbirth by creating a vacuum to guide the baby through the birth canal, aligning with World Health Organization recommendations for emergency obstetric care. LAYCO collaborates with a global network of healthcare professionals to ensure their products meet high safety and usability standards. They primarily serve hospitals and healthcare institutions, particularly in resource-constrained areas, and offer discounted pricing in countries with unmet maternal and perinatal health targets. Through their efforts, LAYCO significantly reduces biomedical waste and CO2 emissions, contributing to sustainable development goals.
