The financing will also be used to further develop Xeltis' broader pipeline of transformative implants, developed using Xeltis' proprietary Endogenous Tissue Restoration (ETR) platform technology, which incorporates Nobel-prize winning breakthroughs in PFAS free polymer technology. Xabg, Xeltis' coronary artery bypass conduit and second product in clinical development, has demonstrated exceptionally positive 24-month follow-up results, outcomes unprecedented for an artificial bypass surgery conduit. Xeltis is also making significant progress across other indications in its pipeline.
Xeltis is a medtech company developing transformative implants that enable the natural creation of living and long-lasting vessels. Xeltis seeks to address the limitations of currently available options for the millions of people requiring hemodialysis access grafts or cardiovascular replacements every year. The Company's proprietary endogenous tissue restoration (ETR) platform utilizes an advanced polymer implant which regenerates the patient's own tissue before gradually being absorbed and leaving new, living, and long-lasting vessels in place. Xeltis' most advanced product currently under clinical development is aXess , an implantable blood vessel for hemodialysis vascular access. Xeltis' groundbreaking technology has high potential to be applied to other major vascular and cardiovascular diseases.
Xeltis is based in The Netherlands and the USA . Its investors include DaVita Venture Group, EQT Life Sciences, Kurma Partners, VI Partners, Ysios Capital, Grand Pharma Group, the European Innovation Council and Invest-NL, in addition to other public and private investors.
