Orpyx® Medical Technologies Secures $7.6M in Series A Funding

CALGARY, Canada, July 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Orpyx (orpyx.com), an innovator in digital health therapeutics to prevent diabetic foot complications, today announced the close of a $7.6M Series A investment round. Paddock Capital Inc. led the investment round with participation from existing and new investors, including Aphelion Capital, Thin Air Labs, InterGen Capital, Relentless Venture Fund, ICM Asset Management, Anges Québec, Picante Capital Corp. and Viewpoint Group. The investment brings Orpyx’s total funding since inception of the company to $18.5M and will help the company expand its North American commercialization efforts as well as broaden and accelerate technology development. Cory Paddock, co-founder and Managing Director of Paddock Capital Inc, will join the Board of Directors.

The Series A financing builds on an exceptional year for Orpyx, which has included the launch of their flagship product line, Orpyx® SI Sensory Insoles, the only sensory insole with telemedicine capabilities that provides patients and their healthcare provider real-world feedback to help prevent diabetic foot and other neuropathy-related ulcers. The launch was preceded by the publication of a first-of-its-kind, randomized control trial that when compared to standard of care demonstrated up to an 86% reduction in DFU recurrence in people with a previous DFU and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which often results in a lack of protective pain sensation.
