Capital Increase invendo medical
CFP BioConnect advised invendo medical, a developer of an innovative sterile, single-use colonoscope on a EUR 4.5 million (USD 6 million) financing round, co-led by Wellington Partners and TVM Capital. Existing shareholder Heidelberg Innovation also participated in this financing, wich will allow invendo to complete the development of the invendoscope™ through regulatory approval in the US.
In contrast to established colonoscopes in clinical use today, invendo’s patented device is sterile and for single use only. The invendosope™ combines a highly flexible endoscope shaft and the proprietary “inverted sleeve” technology that enables a highly safe and potentially painless colonoscopy procedure without sedation. invendo’s colonoscope is CE-marked in Europe. Market launches in Europe and in the US are expected in 2010.
Corporate Finance Partners acted as an exclusive adviser to invendo medical.
