About the job CEO AUMMIS (The Collider Programme)

CEO AUMMIS (The Collider Programme)

AUMMIS | Stem-free Uterine Manipulator for Minimally Invasive Surgery

CEO & Co-Founder Opportunity |

MedTech | Gynecologic Oncology

Laparoscopic hysterectomy depends on a uterine manipulator, and almost every model on the market works by inserting a rigid stem into the uterus.

Clinical evidence has linked these manipulators to a higher risk of cancer recurrence

, because the stem damages tissue, manipulates the tumor and can spread malignant cells.

As a result, many oncology patients still undergo open surgery.

AUMMIS removes the stem.

Its vacuum-assisted system holds the cervix with interchangeable cups, so surgeons can mobilize the uterus in laparoscopic and robotic surgery without traumatizing tissue or touching the tumor.

The project was born at

FISABIO and

Universitat Jaume I

, and is now looking for the CEO who will turn it into a company.
