Based on 20 years of clinical experience as a gynecologist and midwife respectively, we became increasingly frustrated with the medical equipment meant for women that was designed by and for men! Gynecological examinations and childbirth are an intimate and sensitive event, where we women are incredibly vulnerable. Induvita wants to make it less painful, less risky and less scary, while optimizing the procedure and maintaining the effect.
A birth is a major and important event in a woman's life. From experience, we believe that improved equipment will contribute to a gentle birth start and thus a better birth experience.
It's time we put women's health on the agenda. There is too much stigma, taboo and lack of knowledge as well as scientific research.
Women are not a niche market, just severely underrepresented!
Induvita was founded in 2022. Prior to this, Helse Nord was an important contributor to our innovation efforts through financial and professional support.

Induvita is developing an induction catheter for initiating labour, adapted to the needs of the pregnant woman. Through a user-controlled process, we have designed the gynecological speculum of the future. This is optimal for the patient in terms of experience in use, and at the same time meets the practitioner's functional needs.
By making the induction procedure available in developing countries, we can reduce adverse outcomes for mother and child in the event of risk vicissitudes.
Today's equipment for initiating childbirth is designed for men, and we believe that adequate equipment for initiating births is lacking. Minor inequalities: Our equipment does not need sterilization. It will be easy to use with the need for a minimum of training. This allows it to be used by anyone, everywhere.
We will use environmentally friendly materials for the product and packaging.
