Mutual Capital Partners joins River Cities Capital Funds in a $12.7M Growth Financing for Catalyst O
Mutual Capital Partners Fund III joined River Cities Capital Funds in a $12.7 growth financing for Naples, FL, based Catalyst OrthoScience. Catalyst is a medical device company focused on the upper extremity orthopedics market. The surgeon-designed CSR™ Total Shoulder System is a disruptive technology that represents the next evolution in shoulder surgery. The simple surgical technique creates a unique, multiplanar chamfer cut on the humeral head that minimizes bone removal and preserves the strongest, densest bone for the humeral component fixation – similar to modern knee replacement. Patented, angled glenoid instruments aid in the glenoid exposure and lessen retraction on the soft tissue. The precision of the system’s implants and instrumentation yields highly accurate and repeatable restoration of the native non-spherical anatomy. These benefits position the Catalyst CSR system as an attractive solution for anatomic total shoulder replacement surgery and has been used in more than 1,000 surgeries. The first patients are more than two years post surgery with excellent clinical results. The system has seen rapid adoption and is supported by a team of top key opinion leaders in the shoulder replacement market.
“This funding will be instrumental in fueling rapid growth for Catalyst through increased inventory, expanded distribution and new product development,” said Brian K. Hutchison, Catalyst chairman and CEO. “The additional funding will allow us to enhance company infrastructure and hire additional talent to support our growth and to bring our novel approach to total shoulder arthroplasty to surgeons and their patients.”
“We are excited to partner with Catalyst to fuel the growth of the company and advance minimally invasive surgery in shoulder arthroplasty,” said Carter McNabb, managing director at River Cities, who will join Catalyst’s board of directors.
