Nanovis Pulls In $5.5M

2018-08-28
CARMEL, IN, Nanovis announced today the successful completion of a $5.5 million funding round.
Nanovis, an innovative and fast-growing technology company selling nano-technology enhanced spinal implants, announced today the successful completion of a $5.5 million funding round managed by Commenda Securities. Key investors include Elevate Ventures, 1st Source Capital Corporation, Purdue's Foundry Investment Fund, Commenda Capital, and Ellipsis Ventures.

"Our investment in Nanovis is consistent with our mission to support the ongoing development and success of entrepreneurial businesses across Indiana. This latest round of funding will provide Nanovis the growth capital they need as a high-performing, high-growth business," says Elevate Ventures CEO Chris LaMothe.

Nanovis will use the funds to meet increased working capital and sales needs from surging demand from surgeons and distributors for Nanovis' nanotechnology enhanced spinal implants.

"Investors recognized that Nanovis' technology portfolio offers interbodies with the best combination of a deeply porous bone interface scaffold with a tailored nanotube surface and bridging bone visualization. Nanovis' nanotube surface is the only nanotechnology in the spine market with which scientists can customize and control the spacing of the nanofeatures," says Nanovis CEO Matt Hedrick. "Appropriate nanofeature design and control is important in optimizing bone growth. As a result, our distribution partners are already seeing rapid sales growth and hospital approvals for Nanovis' FortiCore interbodies. In addition, we are receiving strong interest from surgeons in participating in our nanotube enhanced FortiCore interbody launch."

Nanovis invents, acquires, and commercializes technologies that offer meaningfully superior implants to reduce fixation and infection related complications. Surgeons seeking for the best outcomes for their patients by utilizing the leading-edge nanotechnology, now have the option with Nanovis implants.

Nanovis' nanotube enhanced FortiCore interbodies have deeply porous interconnected titanium scaffolds enhanced with a carefully designed nanotube surface and intermolded with a PEEK core, giving surgeons the most advanced interbody fixation technology with very good bridging bone imaging.
