Our impact model
We are a spin-off from the Surgery for All research group at the Technical University Delft, that’s why it is in our DNA to create impact. We are on a mission with our reusable medical devices to increase global access to healthcare while reducing the environmental impact of the healthcare industry
Reducing maternal and perinatal mortality rates worldwide
According to the WHO, access to high-quality assisted vaginal birth is an integral part of the provision of emergency obstetric care to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Together with obstetricians worldwide, we developed vela®, an obstetric vacuum extractor developed for use in every emergency obstetric care setting.
Not-for-profit impact model
As LAYCO we are committed to contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 3 as we can specifically support to achieve:
- Target 3.1, to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births, and
- Target 3.2, to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births.
We do this by offering our products for not-for-profit pricing in countries where these targets have not been reached.
Improve sustainability
We design reusable devices that reduce CO2 emissions and biomedical waste. Simply by re-using what is already available instead of using new disposables each time, CO2-eq emissions can be reduced by 40% and waste by 98%.
Together, we increase global access to healthcare
We are committed to increasing global access to healthcare by providing our products via dedicated distributors and international organisations. We are open to discussing opportunities. Do you want to learn more?
