The $31.4 million investment Capstan Medical Inc. recently received in its Series B funding round will allow the company to make headway in its efforts to use a catheter-based, robotic delivery platform to treat patients with mitral and tricuspid valve disease. With heart disease a leading cause of death globally and cardiac procedures remaining highly invasive and filled with complications, Capstan is working to provide patients with safer, less invasive alternative.
Truleaf Medical Ltd., a subsidiary of Israel-based Allmed Solutions, is ready to begin human trials of its Rosedoc platform to replace the heart’s leaky mitral valve using cardiac catheterization.
