About frater.swiss

frater.swiss is a Swiss medical technology company founded in 2016 by Andreas Frasnelli, based in Naters (postal address) with its homebase in Brig in Valais. The company develops and produces devices and applications for the out-of-hospital care of hypothermic patients. The focus is on two cost-efficient solutions: stabilizing patient temperature via heat infusion – including a self-warming coating for infusion lines that actively warms the infusion fluid without additional equipment – as well as fast, portable measurement of patient temperature. The products are aimed at physicians in high-stress environments such as emergency, expedition and military medicine, as well as at veterinarians. In addition, frater.swiss offers consulting on quality management and regulatory affairs for medical devices (including MDR market entry). The company is supported by, among others, Innosuisse and Venture Kick, and is a member of MTEC, Lugaia and other networks.
