June 24 (Reuters) - Medical researcher TISSIUM said on Wednesday it had secured a $60 million financing deal to support the commercialisation and pipeline expansion of its tissue repair technology.
European Investment Bank to provide up to €30 million with an additional €30 million secured by Series D2 financing.
Financing follows U.S. FDA approval last year of its first product, Coaptium Connect, a stitch‑free system that uses dissolvable sleeves and medical glue to reconnect damaged nerves.
The technology uses biocompatible polymers that enable minimally invasive tissue repairs and faster recovery times, an approach not currently pursued by major players such as Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N or Medtronic MDT.N.
Latest funding brings the total raised by TISSIUM to $260 million since its inception in 2013.
The privately owned company is based in Paris and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
