TAIPEI, Taiwan
Flat Medical Co., Ltd., a Medtech company specializing in clinical safety solutions, announced that it has secured Series B funding today, to extend their innovative product portfolio and global business growth.
Led by the National Development Fund, a strategic fund managed by the National Development Council of Taiwan, the round was also participated by several individual investors and existing shareholders, including Acorn Campus Taiwan and The Everjuan Enterprise Co., Ltd.
“Safety improvement in anesthesia and critical care is a real need,” said Dr. Michel Chu, a general partner at Acorn Campus Taiwan. “We have worked with the Flat Medical team for several years, and have strong confidence in their ability to execute on its goal of eliminating clinical risks.”
After acquiring CE mark and FDA clearance for its first product, EpiFaith®, in 2019, Flat Medical has presented the epidural safeguard in worldwide anesthesia communities and started trials in selected leading university hospitals in the U.S. and Europe. “We received a lot of great feedback and inquiries in the past two quarters, and realized that it’s time for us to prepare for the upcoming leap,” said Dr. Joseph Luo, CEO of Flat Medical. “This funding fuels us to accelerate our business development and product pipeline extension. We appreciate the investment from our long-term supporters and the government.”
Besides the active presence of the well-known epidural safety product, EpiFaith®, the company is now developing a central line safety product, EpiFaith® CV, striving to eradicate the risks in anesthesia and critical care units.
