Invictus Medical Names Kelly Rodriques to Board


SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) February 27, 2014

Invictus Medical, the San Antonio-based medical device company dedicated to providing newborns with healthy developmental milestones, today announced that Kelly Rodriques has been named to its Board of Directors.

Rodriques is a nationally respected business executive and advisor with an extensive background in investment management and venture capital, and a history of founding companies, creating jobs, and increasing value for shareholders. He currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of PENSCO, Inc., and PENSCO Trust Company in San Francisco. With more than $ 10 billion in assets under custody, PENSCO is a retirement account custodian specializing in alternative assets.

“Kelly Rodriques not only is an accomplished executive, but a widely respected and sought-after advisor who represents the greatest principles of leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship and who has achieved success across an incredibly diverse set of business ventures,” said Tom Roberts, Invictus Medical President, CEO and Board Member. “We are honored to have him as a director of our company and proud to have an entire board with such depth and breadth of experience at every level of business.”

Prior to joining PENSCO in 2010, Rodriques worked as Chief Executive Officer of Totality Corporation, now a software and services unit within Verizon. He also was Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Novo, an Internet marketing and media company sold to Publicis Groupe in 2001. Additionally, he served as Operating Partner of Ignition Growth Capital, where he focused on investing in early- and mid-stage growth companies. Rodriques currently serves as a board member to mobile financial services pioneer mFoundry. He also is a previous board advisor to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.

“The companies I have founded or led have been diverse in nature, but similar in that they had great people excited to be part of something special,” said Rodriques. “Invictus has that same ‘something special’ – in addition to being fundamentally, financially, and operationally well positioned. That is what I always look at first – the people. Tom Roberts and the leadership team at Invictus Medical and my fellow directors on the board possess three traits that help build great businesses. First, they are doing what they love; second, they know their priorities; and third, they think big. There is great potential for Invictus and those across the marketplace will benefit from it.”

Invictus Medical’s Board of Directors also includes Chairman Steve Dufilho, an accomplished financial services and health care CEO with deep board and governance experience; Lynne Nauss, a well respected global health care and medical device executive; Tom Roberts, President and CEO of Invictus Medical; and, Eric Eisbrenner, Chief Financial Officer of Invictus Medical.

Rodriques graduated from Fresno State University, where, among other accomplishments, he was a world-class collegiate pole vaulter. He competed in the U.S. Track and Field National Championship and in the 1986 World Games in Helsinki, Finland.

Rodriques is married and lives with his wife and three children in Marin County, California, where he is actively involved in youth sports.

Invictus Medical’s technology interest focuses on combating deformational plagiocephaly (DP), a cranial deformity exhibited in infants resulting from repeated external pressure to one area of the head. In addition to being a cosmetic issue, according to a study published in Pediatrics in 2013, DP has been associated with heightened risk for developmental delays in infants and toddlers.

The company anticipates initially marketing its product to pediatric hospitals and NICUs. The company expects to submit its 510k application to the FDA in the first half of 2014 and estimates launching its first product within the year. Invictus Medical closed its seed round of funding in 2013 at 100 percent of target, has raised more than $ 2 million to date, and began its Series A funding in the first quarter of 2014.

Invictus Medical is a San Antonio, Texas-based medical device company that aims to ensure that children are able to attain their developmental milestones. As evidenced by their award-winning innovations, Invictus Medical has been at the forefront of pediatric care since its founding in 2012. Invictus Medical is a privately held company.

Soft Tissue Regeneration, Inc. Announces Financing and Appoints New Members to Board of Directors


New Haven, Conn. (PRWEB) January 06, 2014

Soft Tissue Regeneration, Inc. (“STR”), a developer of regenerative orthopedic devices for tendon and ligament repair, today announced the completion of a financing and the addition of three new members to the company’s board of directors. The $ 5 million financing commitment will permit STR to complete its European Phase I clinical study and continue the FDA regulatory process for the Company’s L-C Ligament®, a bioresorbable, implantable scaffold for the repair and regeneration of an injured or torn anterior cruciate ligament (“ACL”). In conjunction with this financing, Dane Miller, Ph.D., Charles Hart, Ph.D., and Richard Emmitt are joining the STR board of directors, offering deep industry expertise in medical devices and investments.

Current investors, Connecticut Innovations and Launch Capital, led the $ 5 million financing and Dane Miller and The Vertical Group also participated. The financing allows STR to complete its 15-patient Phase I clinical study of the L-C Ligament in Europe, which enrolled the first patient in June, 2013, in The Netherlands. The financing will also support STR’s continued regulatory and clinical activities with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in preparation for a global pivotal clinical trial. The first tranche of STR’s $ 5 million financing closed on Nov. 19, 2013.

“STR has quickly progressed from a concept to a real product that is already demonstrating clinically its potential to provide surgeons and their ACL patients with an alternative to the inherent morbidity and risks of autograft or allograft tendon,” said Joseph Reilly, president, CEO, and co-founder of STR. “The new members of the board of directors offer years of experience and the guidance and insight that will allow us to continue making clinical and regulatory advances.”

The new members to the STR board of directors include:

Dane Miller, Ph.D. – Miller is the founder, current member of the board of directors, and former president and CEO of Biomet, a pioneer and leading company in the orthopedic industry. Miller offers insights and knowledge from his more than 40 years of experience and is considered one of the most distinguished entrepreneurs and executives in the medical device industry.

Charles Hart, Ph.D. – Hart is the former chief scientific officer and vice president of two of the pioneers in the field of regenerative medical technology, Advanced BioHealing and BioMimetics. He has more than 30 years of experience in commercializing advances in biomaterials and biotechnology.

Richard Emmitt – Emmitt is a general partner with The Vertical Group, a leading venture capital firm focused on the medical device industry. During his 40-year career, he has invested in and served as a member of the board of directors at several of the most successful medical device companies.

About STR and the L-C Ligament: Soft Tissue Regeneration, Inc. is a medical device company focused on the application of resorbable polymer scaffold technology to address unmet needs of surgeons and their patients. The Company’s devices are based on proprietary fiber, braid and mesh designs comprised of poly (L) lactic acid (“PLLA”), a resorbable polymer with a long and proven history of use in implantable medical devices. The STR device designs are ideally suited for tendon, ligament, and other soft tissue injuries when an implantable scaffold is required for the reinforcement and/or regeneration of functional tissue. The first STR device to reach the clinical stage is the L-C Ligament. This device has the potential to advance the surgical repair of torn ACL’s by obviating the need to utilize either the patient’s own tissue (“autograft”) with the pain and morbidity of a second surgical site, or the use of cadaver tissue (“allograft”) with the risks of infection and sub-optimal healing. Following three years of animal testing that has demonstrated the ability of the L-C Ligament to remodel and regenerate functioning ligament, STR has initiated a 15 patient Phase I clinical study in Europe. The first patient was treated in June, 2013 in Zwolle, The Netherlands and, as of this date, the 10 patients that have received L-C Ligament implants are all doing well.
