Rotterdam | december 2023
Rotterdam-based company Spatium Medical B.V., a pioneering MedTech spinoff from Erasmus MC, has successfully closed a €5 million financing round. This round includes new investors InnovationQuarter and Demcon Investment Fund and two of the existing investors: Van Herk Ventures and Swanbridge Capital. The financing round is made possible with the continued support from Erasmus MC TTO and with the Innovation Credit from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
Since the 1990’s, the number of laparoscopic surgeries has been ever growing, drastically reducing patient recovery time. However, the use of pressurized CO2 gas to create workspace for the surgeon, is not without consequences. Spatium Medical provides a solution by bringing smart, personalised insufflation to the world of laparoscopy.
The unique features of Spatium Medical’s product enable the surgeon to choose the right pressure for each individual patient, lowering the burden and reducing recovery time. It ensures stability of the surgical workspace, improving safety during the procedure. On top of that, it adjusts to mechanicalcontact@spatiummedical.com www. spatiummedical.com Spatium Medical B.V. ventilation. In other words, the technology is “breathing with the patient”, reducing patient burden and lowering the risk of complications.
This financing round will allow Spatium Medical to finalise the development of the smart insufflation device and to complete clinical studies in a number of hospitals. This will result in the certified product that will give patients access to improved surgical outcomes. Spatium Medical, recently incorporated in March 2022, is aiming to launch the innovative product in 2026.
