Seattle-area medical device startup CurvaFix raises $10.7M for curved bone implant tech

Medical device startup CurvaFix raised $10.7 million to spur development of its technology that helps repair fractures in curved bones.

The Bellevue, Wash.-based company is preparing to commercialize its CurvaFix Rodscrew system, an alternative to straight screws and bone plates that can follow natural bone shape with a minimally-invasive surgical procedure. It is initially targeting pelvic fractures.

The 7-year-old company is led by CEO Steve Dimmer, a medical device industry vet who previously co-founded and led Nuvaira, and is president of Bellevue-based consultancy StratuMed.

Sectoral Asset Management led the Series B round, which included participation from Delta Dental Washington Seed Fund. CurvaFix added Sectoral Asset Management’s Michael Sjöström and Marc-André Marcotte to its board.
