The private equity group, EQT Life Sciences, is lead investor in a €6.5 million Series A financing round for an Irish medical device company that is seeking regulatory approval to market a new product for use in Caesarean-section (C-section) surgery. The company, Nua Surgical Ltd, has developed a self-retaining retractor for the delivery of a baby when a vaginal delivery can’t be done safely. According to EQT, the device enables clinicians to deliver the baby, repair tissue, and identify bleeds with a single-use sterile tool.
