New Britain, PA, March 16, 2026 – Thrombolex, Inc., a commercial-stage medical device company advancing a differentiated pharmaco-mechanical lysis (PML) platform for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) and other thromboembolic diseases, announced the closing of a $50 million Series A equity financing led by OrbiMed, with strong support from current investors and co-founders.
The financing strengthens the Company’s capital position as it expands U.S. commercial infrastructure and advances clinical evidence generation across its endovascular catheter platform.
Thrombolex’s FDA cleared BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheter (BEC) systems are designed to enable rapid thrombus reduction using a single-session, on the-table, 40-minute procedure that integrates mechanical clot engagement with targeted, thrombolytic delivery. Clinical studies using the BEC have demonstrated improved patient care, maximized procedural efficiency while minimizing intensive care utilization and reducing total length of hospital stay.
“OrbiMed’s partnership provides both capital and strategic alignment as we scale commercialization and further define the role of single-session PML in the treatment of acute PE via evidenced based medicine,” said Michael Cerminaro, Co-founder, President & CEO of Thrombolex.
As part of the financing, the Company welcomed Keegan Harper, serial entrepreneur, former CEO of BOLT Medical and newly appointed Executive Chairman of Thrombolex, Sam Liang, global healthcare executive with operational expertise in radiology and interventional businesses, and both David Bonita, General Partner and Clay DeMarcus, Principal of OrbiMed to its Board of Directors.
“We believe our platform approach creates significant opportunity across venous and arterial thromboembolic indications,” said Marvin Woodall, Co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of Thrombolex. “Based on the quality of our clinical and safety data the time has finally arrived to make PML a true standard of care in the field of VTE.”
