DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SkyDance Vascular ("SkyDance" or "the Company"), a newly formed medical device company dedicated to reimagining the Peripheral Intravenous Catheter (PIV), today announced that it has closed $3.3 million in additional seed funding from a combination of existing and new investors.
SkyDance will utilize the investment capital to fuel continued growth, broaden its intellectual property, and initiate a soft commercial launch, following its initial FDA clearance which is expected in Q1, 2022.
"Excelling at PIV safety is our mission," said SkyDance CEO Bill Bold. "With our sustained efforts to improve clinical outcomes, it is exciting that our investors see the value of the Osprey device. This funding round will help us to scale our efforts and extend our impact into the entire healthcare system."
Sharon Luboff, an Operating Partner at Altamont Capital and SkyDance Board Member, said, "The confidence that investors are showing in SkyDance reflects the value that the Company is expected to deliver to patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system. IV therapy is fundamental to patient care, and improvements in IV access make a significant clinical and financial impact."
The completion of this financing comes right after the company's announcement of the award of its patent with design claims aimed at reducing the number of known complications associated with the traditional PIV.
Mike Anstett, RN, VA-BC, SkyDance's Founder, announced, "We're really excited about what is next for SkyDance. This latest round of financing demonstrates that the investment community recognizes our executive team's ability to disrupt this market and the value the solution can bring to reducing PIV complications."
