Founded in 2020, Shanghai Weimu Medical has built a high-end interventional medical device platform that is based on innovative materials in the fields of tumor intervention and pan-vascular intervention. The company has developed a number of products such as microspheres hydrogels and tissue adhesives.
Shanghai Weimu Medical (Chinese: 玮沐医疗) announced the completion of tens of millions of CNY Pre-A financing round, exclusively invested by IDG Capital. The proceeds will be used to advance current clinical trials, develop new pipelines, and expand the R&D team.
