Access Scientific Inc., makers of the Picc Wand and Power Wand IV catheters, closed a $10 million equity financing round.
Investment was led by CAC, a private equity firm, and followed by Access Scientific’s previous investors.
The company’s IV catheters are designed reduce patient discomfort by allowing blood tests to be drawn and fluids and medications to be delivered through a single device, which can last the duration of an entire hospital stay.
"The commitment from CAC and our existing investors will allow us to improve the hospital in-patient experience worldwide with this groundbreaking new vascular access technology," said Dr. Steve Bierman, CEO of Access Scientific in a release.
The San Diego, Calif.-based company touted FDA clearance for the Power Wand in March, and CE Mark in the European Union in February.
