Cianna Medical Inc. announced Tuesday that it has successfully completed a funding round totaling more than $10 million.

The medical device company specializes in women’s health and is committed to developing innovative treatments of early-stage breast cancer.

Emergent Medical Partners, Saints Capital, Mitsubishi International Corporation, and Fog City Fund (an initial investor in BioLucent), plus several private individuals participated in the funding round.

“Our ability to raise money from knowledgeable, highly regarded investors, despite the challenging economic environment, is further evidence that SAVI is a breakthrough technology,” says Jill Anderson, president and CEO of Cianna. “Cianna’s mission is to make the benefits of breast brachytherapy available to more women. It’s gratifying to achieve this goal thanks to the strength of our technology and because of SAVI’s increasingly broad acceptance among radiation oncologists, surgeons and patients.”
