Sirius Medical got funding from a group of investors led by the Brabantse Ontwikkel Maatschappij (BOM Brabant Ventures). Sjoerd van Gorp is BOM Brabant Ventures’ senior investment manager. He explains why they invested in this company.
‘Better care’
“The innovative solution developed by Sirius will lead to a better care process. That’s crucial in today’s healthcare.” During surgery, the Sirius Pintuition Probe provides highly accurate, real-time feedback, and directional guidance to the marked tissue.
