The Mercia Technology Seed Fund, alongside government-backed investor Finance Wales, has invested an undisclosed amount into start up technology company Nightingale EOS.
West Midlands-based Nightingale has developed a laser-based technology called Beam Profile Reflectometry (BPR), which is able to measure the characteristics of the thin coatings applied to medical implants such as cardiac stents and replacement joints. The company plans to open an applications laboratory and sales office in Coventry University Technology Park. Its development centre is based in Wrexham.
The new funding will be used to complete the development of the company's first product targeted at the medical device manufacturing market.
