GENEVA, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Spineart, a global spine specialist working with surgeons to accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, has successfully raised a CHF20 million convertible financing. The funding comes on the heels of the completion of enrollment in the two BAGUERA®C IDE studies, underlining Spineart’s commitment to advancing spinal surgery through large scale investments in research and development. Approximately CHF16 million of the funding was contributed by existing shareholders and employees, with the remaining portion sourced from new investors, above the CHF20 million initial target, with the company exercising its over-allotment allocation option.

These include investments in novel enabling technologies, continued follow-up of patients enrolled in the two BAGUERA®C IDE studies, the opening this summer of Spineart’s new R&D and Training Center for Enabling Technologies in Dallas, Texas, and completion of a new 43,000sqft / 4,300 m2 factory currently under construction near Geneva by the end of 2024.
