Tissium raises €30M in equity funding, €30M in debt
Summary
French MedTech startup Tissium has secured €30 million in Series D-2 equity funding. It also obtained up to €30 million in debt financing from the European Investment Bank, bringing its total equity raised to €200 million. A new US-based family-owned institutional investor led the equity round. Existing investors like Mérieux Développement and Cathay, plus new family offices and high net worth individuals, also supported it. Tissium develops "biomorphic programmable polymers," a novel adhesive technology. This tech reconstructs damaged tissue and restores its natural state, avoiding invasive stitches. It repairs heart defects, hernias, and damaged nerves. Two products, for nerve repair and hernia treatment, have US FDA approval. The new capital will fund US market rollout and clinical trials to expand healthcare applications.
