Koya Medical has announced the close of a US$26 million Series B financing. The round was led by 3×5 Partners, along with new investors including Asahi Kasei Ventures, Cadence Healthcare Ventures, and existing investors Arboretum Ventures and Scientific Health Development, among others.
Proceeds from the financing will be used to accelerate the expansion and commercialisation of its Dayspring active compression system, a press release details.
