In a successful week for the medical technology companies in the LSI Alumni community, we saw LSI Alumni close a $27M oversubscribed Series A round, appoint new executives, announce regulatory milestones, and much more on the road to LSI USA ‘25 in Dana Point, CA (March 17-21).

1MED

Appointed Janet Kube as its new Chief Executive Officer. 1MED is a Swiss-based global end-to-end development consultancy specializing in medical devices, novel technologies, and combination product fields.

Altra

Announced that its dual-chamber infusion system was accepted in the U.S. FDA’s Safer Technologies Program (STeP). This milestone will support Altra’s upcoming 510(k) submission, bringing its advanced infusion system with air-in-line and occlusion detection closer to commercialization.

Fluid Biomed

Closed a $27M oversubscribed Series A equity financing round co-led by Amplitude Ventures and an undisclosed strategic partner. The funds will be used to further validate the company’s ReSolv stent, a bioabsorbable polymer-based stent for brain aneurysms.

RevBio

Secured FDA approval to broaden its clinical trial for TETRANITE, its proprietary bone adhesive biomaterial. The company also earned reimbursement coverage from the CMS for TETRANITE’s application as a replacement for traditional metal plates and screws.

Sensome

Announced positive results from two studies demonstrating that its Clotild Smart Guidewire System can successfully identify “fresh” clots in peripheral artery disease (PAD). The data from the SEPARATE and E-SEPARATE studies were presented at the Paris Vascular Insights Course.
