It was a good week for companies focused on minimally invasive brain surgery. Monteris Medical Corp. received $35 million in a series D equity financing and a $38 million debt facility to support market adoption and clinical research on its Neuroblate system, a laser ablation system that provides a minimally invasive option for brain surgery. Nico Corp. also raised additional funds, with a $12.5 million oversubscribed round for its devices, which do not require cutting through the brain but instead use the natural folds of the brain to reach abnormalities.
Implanet SA reported having raised $2.7 million to ramp up commercial distribution of its spine implants designed for minimally invasive surgery for spine deformities. The exercise took the form of a capital increase in cash with maintenance of shareholder preferential subscription rights launched a month ago.
