Medical technology company Lipogems has raised €12.5m in growth capital this year for its knee osteoarthritis (OA) investigational device exemption (IDE) studies, which were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Lipogems is securing financial resources from ABC Medtech and LIFTT to pave the pathway for a knee OA indication and reimbursement in the US besides building infrastructure to support growth.
The funds will also help educate and raise awareness among consumers and patients about knee OA, and extend into other markets with common conditions that have limited therapeutic options and where MicroFat can deliver better relief.
By taking the support of Mazars and Fantozzi & Ass (financial, accounting and tax matters), Bonelli, Erede and Partners (legal), Nomisma (business), Intexo SB (regulatory), the investors carried out extensive due diligence to validate the regulatory strategy and overall investment in the company.
