In September, Aviv Scientific, an Israeli medtech company that conducts research and clinical treatment of age-related cognitive and functional decline to maximize human performance, brought in $40 million in an oversubscribed Series B funding round.

OrthoSpin’s automated, digitally-enabled strut system, the AutoStrut G2 System, offers a solution to the external circular fixation market used in bone lengthening, setting complex fractures, and correcting limb deformities. With this technology, circular frame strut adjustments are automated and can be broken down into smaller, more frequent intervals, eliminating the need for patients to perform complex manual strut adjustments.
The company’s concept was first brought to Trendlines by Liraz Shlomoff and Yoni Epstein, serial entrepreneurs in the medical device field. OrthoSpin received FDA clearance for its latest device in January 2021 and has completed initial clinical cases in the U.S. and Israel. Johnson & Johnson Innovation led two investment rounds. Trendlines was OrthoSpin’s founding investor and participated in additional financings for the Company. OrthoSpin also received support from the Israel Innovation Authority.
