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.
