Bioceptive is on a mission to improve the well being of women and families across the globe through creative innovation, product excellence and thoughtful design. It empowers women with the choice of a gentle, atraumatic option when undergoing intrauterine treatment procedures.
Its first product was a cervical retraction device that used gentle suction to engage and manipulate the cervix for a variety of gynecological procedures. This device replaced a painful, barbaric instrument called the cervical tenaculum which caused painful trauma. Its second product – Bioceptive Inserter, enables women to take control of their family planning with the best available method. This investment was made by Gray Matters Capital via First Light Ventures.
