MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FastWave Medical, a pioneering medical device company incubated by Big Sky Biomedical partners, announced the swift closure of an oversubscribed multi-million dollar private financing. This achievement, secured in just a few weeks, highlights the growing interest and confidence in FastWave's ability to execute its vision for the development of multiple intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) systems.
Scott Nelson, co-founder and CEO of FastWave Medical expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Since the inception of our company, we've received considerable inbound interest from potential investors. But when we opened up this private placement, we were blown away by the response. This financial milestone, combined with the speed at which our engineering team is moving, underscores FastWave's momentum in the IVL space."

An aging global population that calls for effective and minimally invasive solutions has never been higher. FastWave's charge to this cause has led to the development of multiple IVL systems, providing physicians with more treatment options that are economical and easy to use.
Dr. Arthur Lee, a renowned Interventional Cardiologist and Advisor with High Circle Ventures, shared, "IVL is an impressive therapy and FastWave's team is moving remarkably quickly. Their inventive IVL systems promise to fill much-needed gaps with existing technologies and I'm excited about the prospects of treating my patients with FastWave's devices."
The recent infusion of capital will bolster the continued development of FastWave's IVL systems, propelling the company's key pre-clinical and clinical initiatives into new horizons. The financing round, graced by participation from esteemed physician KOLs and leading industry stakeholders, highlights the medical community's trust in FastWave's transformative capabilities.
