Our Founding Story
Corporis Medical was founded in 2015 by Dr. Alexander Veenhof, a distinguished surgeon currently practicing at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital in Amsterdam. As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of our company, Dr. Veenhof leverages his extensive experience in the operating room to drive innovation in minimally invasive surgery.
Inspired by his hands-on insights and through valuable collaborations with key opinion leaders such as Prof. Dr. Nicole Bouvy, Dr. Veenhof guided the establishment of our headquarters at the Maastricht Brightlands Health Campus. This strategic location enables us to benefit from close partnerships with other start-ups and access to the facilities at MUMC+, providing significant advantages in our research and development efforts.
At Corporis Medical, our expert engineering team transforms Dr. Veenhof’s product concepts into advanced medical devices. We manage the entire product lifecycle, from initial prototype development and pre-clinical studies to clinical trials and final commercialization.
Our mission is to minimize post-operative complications by advancing surgical tools with smarter, more effective technologies.
At Corporis Medical, our skilled and dedicated team has propelled us to significant achievements and milestones, including:
-
Successful Pre-Clinical Investigations for Laprixa: The Laprixa System has met all user requirements, validating its design and functionality.
-
First-in-Human Study for Mediclose: Demonstrated safe and effective closure of fascia incisions following laparoscopic surgery.
-
US Market Entry: Achieved through a 510(k) pre-market submission for the Mediclose System.
-

These milestones reflect our commitment to innovation and excellence in the medical device industry.
