Escala Medical Ltd. (“Escala”), a medical technology company specializing in innovative repair solutions for women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), today announced the successful completion of a $4.5 million funding round. The investment included the EIC Fund, following a €2.5 million grant awarded to Escala in October 2023 through the prestigious EIC Accelerator program. The round also included participation from private investors in the United States and Israel.
The funds will be used to expand Escala’s commercial operations in the U.S., where the company’s flagship device has been FDA-approved and commercially launched in 2023. To date, hundreds of successful procedures have been performed using the device. The funding will also support preparations for market entry into Europe, pending CE approval, as well as additional international growth through a newly signed distribution agreement with a Singapore-based partner covering Southeast Asia.
