Zeta Surgical Inc. has raised $5.2 million in seed funding to improve the accuracy and safety of image-guided surgical procedures through its Zeta neurosurgical navigation platform. Zeta CEO Jose Maria Amich told BioWorld the funding will also advance a non-invasive ultrasound system for imaging the brain and help complete initial clinical studies for its FDA approvals application.
Digital health company Recora Inc. has surfaced from stealth mode with $20 million in series A funding to advance its comprehensive care management vision for heart disease patients.
Investors kicked in $45 million in a series C financing round for Podimetrics Inc., the maker of a device that provides early indication of developing diabetic foot ulcers. D1 Capital Partners led the round with new investor Medtech Convergence Fund and an undisclosed strategic investor. Polaris Partners and Scientific Health Developed returned for the series C, which brought the total raised by Podimetrics to date to more than $73 million.
The tides have turned for med-tech financings as private companies are now raising the largest proportion of money. In the early months of 2021, 2020 and 2019, public companies took the greatest share. However, amounts raised overall are down by 50% over the same period of 2021 and the number of transactions has fallen 17%.
