Italian medical device maker Sorin Group (BIT:SRN) invested in early-stage company Enopace Biomedical to fund the development of a neuromodulation system for patients with congestive heart failure.
Enopace’s technology consists of an implantable neurostimulator that increases heart efficiency by reducing the workload placed on the left ventricle. Sorin Group’s $7 million investment will finance clinical studies and ongoing product development.
"Through Enopace Biomedical, Sorin Group will support the development of a unique medical device solution for today’s most urgent, unmet clinical need. This segment represents one of the largest and fast-growing market opportunities in the medical device field" said Sorin Group CEO André-Michel Ballester in prepared remarks.
