EINDHOVEN, Nederland en ZÜRICH, December 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

In 2015: positieve resultaten bij de eerste twee klinische studies, een krachtiger managementteam en diverse erkenningen  

Xeltis heeft zijn serie-B investeringsronde uitgebreid met 3 miljoen euro, waarmee de totale financieringsronde op 30 miljoen euro komt. Xeltis is het eerste bedrijf ooit dat biologisch absorbeerbare cardiovasculaire kleppen en vaten ontwikkelt die in staat zijn tot Endogenous Tissue Restoration (ETR). Met de opbrengst van deze financieringsronde kan Xeltis de ontwikkelingen versnellen die op stapel staan voor verschillende cardiovasculaire indicaties.

In 2015 groeide Xeltis uit van een universitaire spin-off tot een van 's werelds meest belovende start-ups op medisch-technologisch gebied. Het bedrijf heeft met succes de eerste twee haalbaarheidsstudies voor de biologisch absorbeerbare cardiovasculaire hulpmiddelen afgerond, met positieve resultaten bij patiënten een jaar na operatie. Xeltis wil in 2016 beginnen aan de klinische onderzoeken voor zijn pulmonalisklep.

Xeltis heeft onlangs Michel Darnaud, een internationaal erkende senior executive op het gebied van cardiovasculaire medische hulpmiddelen, benoemd tot nieuwe voorzitter van de raad van bestuur. Het Executive Team is aangevuld met internationale professionals op het gebied van de Life Sciences, onder wie COO Boris Warnack en CDO Eliane Schutte.

"Xeltis is een van de meest innovatieve bedrijven die ik in mijn carrière ben tegengekomen", aldus Darnaud, die in mei lid werd van de raad en in november tot voorzitter werd benoemd. "Het bedrijf ontwikkelt zich snel en kan voor een omwenteling zorgen in de zorgstandaarden binnen de hart- en vaatchirurgie."

Xeltis is ook opgenomen in de 2015 Fierce 15 lijst van de meest veelbelovende particuliere medtech-bedrijven, opgesteld door de Amerikaanse nieuwsautoriteit Fierce Medical Devices. Daarnaast heeft CEO Laurent Grandidier onlangs van het tijdschrift European CEO een prijs ontvangen als beste CEO in 2015 in de branche voor medische hulpmiddelen.

"In 2015 hebben we onze technologische mogelijkheden, onze financiën, ons managementteam en onze raad verder verstevigd," aldus Grandidier, "en ik ben erg vereerd door de zakelijke en publieke erkenningen die we hebben gekregen en die onze unieke onderneming op de kaart helpen te zetten."

Over de technologie van Xeltis en ETR 

Eenmaal geïmplanteerd werken de biologisch absorbeerbare cardiovasculaire hulpmiddelen van Xeltis als normale kleppen of vaten. Hun poreuze structuur is ontworpen als een matrix voor ETR, en dankzij het natuurlijke genezingsproces van het lichaam kan er nieuw, gezond weefsel doorheen groeien. De matrix is zo ontworpen dat hij weer wordt geabsorbeerd; in het lichaam van de patiënt blijft dan een nieuw vat of nieuwe klep achter dat/die gezond is en functioneert.

ETR is een baanbrekende behandelvorm bij aandoeningen van het hart en de vaten. Het vermindert mogelijk de kans op complicaties, die vaak worden veroorzaakt door vreemd materiaal in het lichaam, en het risico op herhaalde ingrepen, zoals gebruikelijk is bij patiënten bij wie hartkleppen zijn vervangen.[1],[2],[3],[4],[5] Al met al kan het dus de totale kosten van de gezondheidszorg verminderen.

De technologie van Xeltis is gebaseerd op de inzichten op het gebied van supramoleculaire chemie van Nobelprijswinnaar professor Jean-Marie Lehn.

Over Xeltis 

Xeltis is een Europees bedrijf in medische hulpmiddelen, met vestigingen in Zürich, Zwitserland en in Eindhoven, Nederland. In 2014 rondde Xeltis met succes een overtekende serie-B investeringsronde van 27 miljoen euro af, die werd uitgebreid tot 30 miljoen in 2015. Tot de investeerders behoren Life Sciences Partners, Nederland (LSP), Kurma Partners, Frankrijk (Kurma), VI Partners, Zwitserland (VI) en particuliere aandeelhouders.
