DYVERTO AG GETS A COMBINED “SEED” FUNDING OF NEARLY 1 MILLION EUROS for the development of a novel treatment for small abdominal aortic aneurysms.

January 27, 2023

Dyverto AG, an innovative start-up operating in the vascular sector created by CVLab, announces the entry into the share capital of Davide Bianchi and Nocturnal Labs SpA.

The “seed” investment is intended for the development of a device aimed at stopping and potentially reversing the progression of arterial aneurysms. The funds will be used to complete an in-depth proof of concept for an abdominal application, continue the development of the device and its delivery system and strengthen the company’s IP position.

Built on an idea coming from Prof. Alessandro Bortone, Dyverto’s concept already brings to bear a robust body of preliminary data developed with top research institutions including the “Politecnico di Torino” (CFD), the “Department of Fisica Medica” of the Policlinico Sant’Orsola in Bologna (in vitro modeling and testing) and the “CRABBC”  (Centro di Ricerche ed Applicazioni Biotecnologiche in Chirurgia Cardiovascolare) for the animal work.

According to one of the Clinical Advisors involved in the preliminary evaluations of the technology, “Dyverto could be a game-changing approach to intervene tackling the progression of the disease instead of simply focusing on mechanically addressing its consequences”.

“We strongly believe in Dyverto’s potential. Through its technology platform we see the opportunity to explore a number of hi-value applications across the vascular field” stated both Luigi Colombo, CEO of Nocturnal Labs and Davide Bianchi”.
