Calypso captures $44 million in venture capital
Seattle-based Calypso Medical Technologies http://www.calypsomedical.com/ has raised $44 million in venture capital, making it the largest amount raised by a Washington-based company in more than a year.
The previous high came in April 2004, when Seattle-based Corus Pharma, which is developing drugs for cystic fibrosis and severe asthma, raised $65 million, according to VentureOne, a San Francisco-based research firm.
Calypso Medical is developing an implantable sensor that pinpoints the location of tumors before the patient receives radiation. The sensors are tracked by a system also being built by Calypso.
The company said more than 1 million patients receive radiation treatment in the U.S. every year.
