Led by CEO Jason Hannon, the company aims to revolutionize the treatment of mechanical low back pain through this groundbreaking technology.

The financing, led by Gilde Healthcare and Viking Global Investors, also saw participation from existing investors like Ally Bridge Group, Sofinnova Partners, Fountain Healthcare Partners, and Perceptive Advisors. With this significant funding, Mainstay Medical plans to expand its presence in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, conduct additional clinical studies, and bolster its general operations.
