Business Wire
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) (“Horizon”
or the “Company”), an affiliate of Monroe Capital, and a leading
specialty finance company that provides capital in the form of
secured loans to venture capital-backed companies in the
technology, life science, healthcare information and services, and
sustainability industries, today announced it has provided a $35
million venture loan facility to GT Medical Technologies, Inc. (“GT
MedTech”), of which $15 million has been initially funded.
GT MedTech, through its innovative flagship product, GammaTile®,
offers a proprietary solution to treat brain tumors. GammaTile is a
bioresorbable collagen tile embedded with radiation seeds
(Cesium-131), an isotope used to deliver a high dose of radiation
directly to the tumor cavity, helping to reduce tumor recurrence.
Unlike external beam radiation therapy, GammaTile uses surgically
targeted radiation therapy, minimizing excess radiation exposure to
healthy tissue.
GT MedTech is backed by top-tier investors including MVM
Partners, Glide Healthcare Partners, MedTech Venture Partners and
BlueStone Venture Partners. The company will use the loan proceeds
for general growth and working capital.
“GT MedTech is pioneering brain tumor treatment with its
FDA-cleared GammaTile,” said Gerald A. Michaud, President of
Horizon. “This solution will help transform the standard of care,
while offering a cost-effective reimbursement profile to hospitals,
creating a clear win for all stakeholders in the healthcare
ecosystem.”
“We are delighted to have Horizon’s support as we expand the
reach of our groundbreaking GammaTile solution,” said Per Langoe,
Chief Executive Officer of GT MedTech. “By delivering targeted
radiation immediately after tumor removal, GammaTile provides
focused radiation to the tumor cavity, helping eradicate residual
tumor cells. Our partnership with Horizon Technology Finance will
allow us to continue our strategic commercial and market expansion
initiatives, helping bring GammaTile to more patients in need.”
