VC Firms, Baird Venture Partners and HLM Venture Partners Lead $20.5 Million in Seriec C Funding for Interlace Medical, Inc.
Based in Framingham, Massachusetts, Interlace Medical, a company that produces interventional devices for gynecologists has landed series C funding, which was led by Baird Venture Partners and HLM Venture Partners. Other investors who participated in the funding include existing investors Leaf Venture Partners and Spray Venture Partners.
Interlace Medical, Inc. was founded in 2006 as a company that develops interventional devices for gynecologists to do procedures that would otherwise require surgery in patients. Furthermore until recent times, the lack of technology has made it impossible to treat gynecological disorders without inpatient surgery.
Proceeds from the funding will go to help fund Interlace’s development and commercialization of its new product, the MyoSure device, which is a device that is involved in intra-uterine procedures that remove polyps and fibroids. MyoSure is a device that will greatly improve the treatment of uterine fibroids and polyps because it minimizes the invasiveness of the procedure to remove them.
