Company

About

Fife, Scotland-based retinal imaging company Epipole has raised £1.3m in a funding round led by early-stage investor Greenwood Way Capital, along with support from Scottish Enterprise, a government funding agency. The Scottish company plans to use the funding to hire people in the US to support the company’s product launch and early commercialisation within primary care optometry and general ophthalmology practices. The company has appointed experienced medtech executive Conal Harte as CEO from Össur, replacing founder Craig Robertson. Founded in 2011, Epipole has developed handheld devices that take video scans of the retina, providing clinicians with high-quality images for further assessment.
