Funding to drive development of permanent bioelectronic pacemaker following promising clinical data
Ceryx Medical, a UK-based medtech innovator developing next-generation bioelectronic therapies for heart failure, has announced the successful close of a new funding round, bringing the company’s total raised to 15 million USD. The company says the investment marks a major milestone in its mission to ‘revolutionise’ cardiac care with intelligent, adaptive pacing technology.
The company’s lead product, a temporary cardiac pacing device, is currently undergoing clinical evaluation. Early results from the ongoing study are highly encouraging, showing the potential to significantly enhance patient recovery following cardiac surgery.
The new funding will accelerate development of Ceryx’s second product: a permanent, physiologically responsive pacemaker designed to provide long-term support for patients with chronic heart failure. Unlike conventional pacemakers, Ceryx’s technology mimics the body’s natural modulation of the heart to deliver real-time, biomimetic pacing, offering a more natural and effective treatment option.
“This investment is a strong endorsement of our team, technology, and vision,” said Stuart Plant, CEO of Ceryx Medical. “The early clinical data from our temporary device has given us real momentum, and with this funding, we’re excited to advance our permanent pacing platform—an innovation that could redefine how heart failure is treated.”
The round was supported by leading investors including BGF, Parkwalk Advisors, Development Bank of Wales (DBW), and BBI, all of whom share Ceryx’s vision for a future where heart failure care is enhanced by intelligent bioelectronic systems.
Spun out of research from the Universities of Bristol, Bath, and Auckland, Ceryx Medical continues to work closely with academic and clinical partners to translate cutting-edge science into life-changing patient outcomes.
