GT Metabolic Solutions raised a Series C growth investment led by J.P. Morgan Life Sciences Private Capital. The company announced the round on October 28 and did not disclose the amount. It describes the round as its first institutional financing partnership.
The Minneapolis company makes magnetic compression devices that form gastrointestinal anastomoses without incisions, sutures or staples. FDA granted a De Novo in September 2024 for its MagDI system in side-to-side duodeno-ileal anastomosis, four years after the company was founded. GT Metabolic says it is the first to hold both a De Novo grant and a 510(k) clearance for magnet-based compression anastomosis, and lists sites in Minneapolis, San Jose and Montreal.
A growth round with no number on it, led by a bank's private capital arm rather than a device fund, usually means the money is going into commercial build rather than the next trial.
