NUI Galway spinout founded by Dr Elizabeth McGloughlin and Rory O’Callaghan
Galway-based medtech company Tympany Medical has raised €3.5 million in a seed investment round from backers that include the venture arm of the Mayo Clinic, which has been consistently ranked as the best hospital in the US.
Tympany has developed the world’s first specialised miniature endoscope for ear surgery called OtoVU.
Previously, more cumbersome endoscopes have been used in procedures rather than ones designed specifically to assist surgeons operating on the intricate detail of the human ear.
