Vesalio Announces Oversubscribed Class A Financing
Nashville, TN, May 18, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Vesalio, an emerging leader in improving outcomes in patients with vascular occlusion, is proud to announce it has oversubscribed its Class A financing round. Solas BioVentures led the investment with participation by new and existing investors, including the recent addition of Orlando Health Ventures.
With an expanding customer base established in Europe, Vesalio will use this funding to enter the U.S. market by executing FDA clearances, adding key personnel, developing support infrastructure, expanding its product portfolio, and completing its cardiology clinical study.
“This financing round advances Vesalio’s mission to improve outcomes in patients suffering a stroke and other conditions created by blood clots,” said Mike Kujak, Vesalio Board Chairman. “As the medical field continues to evolve in treating vascular occlusion, physicians are seeking a device that effectively removes all types of blood clots to improve patient outcomes by reducing the time it takes to restore blood flow. This oversubscribed round of funding allows us to complete the development and introduction of new technology and accelerate the market growth of Vesalio’s proprietary platforms.”
Vesalio is also pleased to announce a new addition to its board of directors: Bobby Helmedag, the managing director of Orlando Health Ventures. “We are excited to be Vesalio investors,” expressed Mr. Helmedag. “Their NeVa and enVast platforms have shown extremely promising results, and we look forward to supporting them as they scale global markets and enter the U.S. market.
