Cambridge, Mass. and CLEVELAND, April 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myomo, Inc., (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical robotics company with many connections in the greater Cleveland area, will be hosting a presentation for investors interested in learning about its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on May 3, 2017 at 12pm EDT. Chairman and CEO Paul Gudonis will be presenting. The meeting will take place at the offices of BioEnterprise, a business formation, recruitment, and acceleration effort designed to support the growth of bioscience companies in Northeast Ohio, located at 11000 Cedar Ave., Suite 100 in Cleveland, OH.
Myomo is conducting an IPO to raise $15M in growth capital to expand its business, under the JOBS Act Regulation A+ rules, which allow the general public to invest in IPO’s, along with accredited investors and institutions. It expects to be the first company to complete a Regulation A+ IPO and be listed on the New York Stock Exchange MKT. TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, working with its online division BANQ® (www.banq.co), will act as the lead managing selling agent and bookrunner for the offering. Myomo intends to use the proceeds from the offering to fund sales and marketing, product development, repayment of debt, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Myomo produces a line of unique myoelectric orthotics (powered braces) to enable individuals to regain use of their paralyzed arms and hands. Based on technology developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Myomo is the only provider of lightweight, wearable robotics for the many individuals with paralysis due to a stroke, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, and other neurological diseases or injuries.
The Company has several connections to Cleveland and Ohio. Myomo has teamed up with Chardon, OH based Geauga Rehabilitation Engineering (GRE), to fabricate the devices. It has delivered many units for patients at the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Lake Health and the Cleveland VA Medical Center. And it has Department of Defense clinical research underway at the Cleveland VAMC and with Case Western Reserve University faculty.
In January 2017 the Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation published research from the Ohio State University School of Medicine Stroke Center. Dr. Steve Page, the lead investigator, summarized the results saying, “The people we studied had moderate to severe arm impairment for whom there are not a lot of options. We found that when the patients were wearing the MyoPro, across the board their performance of movements was significantly better. Patients were able to do things wearing the MyoPro that they would not be able to do with moderate to severely impaired arms under normal circumstances.”
