Torax Medical, a St. Paul, Minnesota-based medical device company that develops and markets products designed to treat chronic diseases related to defective sphincter muscles, has completed a $30m Series D financing.
The round was led by Piper Jaffray Merchant Banking, with participation from Sanderling Ventures, Thomas, McNerney & Partners, Accuitive Medical Ventures, Kaiser Permanente and Mayo Medical Ventures.
The company intends to use the proceeds to expand commercialization efforts for its family of sphincter augmentation products.
