NGN Capital led a $15 million Series B financing of Cerapedics, Inc., a medical device company that is developing a bone graft substitute for use in spinal fusion surgery and other orthopedic procedures.

Cerapedics’ i-Factor putty, a novel osteobiologic that includes a small peptide, enhances the natural bone healing process but at a much lower cost than the leading bone growth factor. Compared with the other options currently in use, it is a more reliable enhancer of fusion and/or has fewer potential side effects. i-Factor is currently being evaluated in a large U.S. clinical trial that is expected to prove that it is both safe and highly effective. i-Factor carries the CE mark and is currently being sold outside the U.S.

Kenneth S. Abramowitz holds a seat on the board of directors and Dr. Peter Johann holds an observer seat.

NGN Capital led a $7.75 million Series B financing of Valtech Cardio, Ltd., a medical device company engaged in mitral valve repair using minimally invasive technology.

Currently, repair of the mitral valve requires open heart surgery. Valtech’s technology will allow for repair of the mitral valve via a minimally invasive procedure. Conversion of mitral valve repair to less invasive methods is expected to reduce the risk, duration and cost of such procedures and also considerably increase the pool of candidate patients, many of whom are otherwise clinically unsuitable for a traumatic open heart procedure.
