Funding to accelerate U.S., European and Middle East commercialization and collect clinical evidence for U.S. weight loss marketing indication

GOSSELIES, Belgium, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo Tools Therapeutics (ETT), developers of advanced endoscopic medical devices, today announced the closing of its Series C financing round, raising € 20 million (c. $ 23 million) to advance U.S., European and Middle East commercialization of the endomina® platform, including the recently FDA-cleared endomina® EZFuse system, and to collect the clinical evidence necessary for a U.S. weight loss marketing indication. This oversubscribed round has been led by seasoned Medical Device investors Capricorn Partners via their Capricorn Healthtech Fund II and is supported by MGFO as well as existing investors.

"This financing marks an important step in scaling ETT's presence in the U.S., European and Middle East markets," said Alexandre Chau, CEO of Endo Tools Therapeutics. "With the recent FDA clearance of the endomina® EZFuse system, we are introducing a next-generation solution designed to simplify workflow, improve efficiency, and enhance the physician experience. This funding will allow us to build on that momentum, drive adoption, and continue to collect the data needed to support broader clinical applications."

The endomina platform consists of a triangulation platform and suturing units that can be affixed to standard, tested endoscopes, creating a flexible therapeutic channel that moves independently. This enables physicians to perform suturing through a natural orifice—the mouth. Endomina remains the only system that can be assembled on the endoscope inside the stomach, offering greater working space and easier instrument access through the esophagus. It is designed to serve a significant population of patients with Class I and II obesity seeking a minimally invasive procedure as an alternative to chronic GLP-1 therapy or as part of a combined treatment approach.

The newly cleared endomina® EZFuse system builds on this foundation with a more intuitive design and a single-movement suturing mechanism that streamlines workflow by eliminating unnecessary steps. Early procedural experience has demonstrated significantly faster suturing, allowing physicians to complete procedures more efficiently without changing their established technique. The system is designed to reduce operational burden, minimize user fatigue, and improve procedural consistency—helping hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers optimize resource utilization and expand procedural capacity.

Filip Pintelon, Investment Partner at Capricorn Partners, added: "We are excited to support ETT at this pivotal stage, with the recent FDA clearance of the EZFuse system, combined with strong clinical experience and a clear strategy for U.S. expansion, the company is very well positioned to transform gastrointestinal care with minimally invasive endoscopic solutions to continue to improve patient care."

The market for advanced endoscopic suturing and tissue approximation is large and expanding. In the U.S., millions of patients remain untreated due to the invasiveness of surgery. Globally, demand for less invasive options is driving double-digit growth in the endoscopic suturing devices market. By enabling advanced procedures through a natural orifice, and now with a next-generation system designed for speed and efficiency, the endomina platform is positioned to capture a meaningful share of this multibillion-dollar opportunity.

Streit um unbegrenzte Datentarife: Oberverwaltungsgericht kassiert Kölner Urteil

15.06.2026

Im Streit um die Behandlung sogenannter Heavy User im Mobilfunk hat das nordrhein-westfälische Oberverwaltungsgericht (OVG) die Bundesnetzagentur vorläufig in die Schranken gewiesen. Die Bonner Aufsichtsbehörde hatte einem bundesweit tätigen Mobilfunkanbieter untersagt, Kunden mit unbegrenztem oder sehr großem Datenvolumen bei überlasteten Funkzellen mit geringerer Priorität zu bedienen. Diese Form der sogenannten Depriorisierung darf nach der einstweiligen OVG-Entscheidung vorerst weiter angewendet werden. Der Beschluss im Eilverfahren ist nicht anfechtbar.

Nach Auffassung des 13. Senats ist derzeit offen, ob die entsprechende Vertragsklausel des Anbieters mit europäischem Recht vereinbar ist. Im Kern geht es um die Frage, ob eine nachrangige Behandlung von Vielnutzern eine nicht gerechtfertigte Ungleichbehandlung von Kunden darstellt. Bevor in der Hauptsache entschieden wird, will das OVG Münster den Europäischen Gerichtshof (EuGH) um eine Vorabentscheidung bitten. Damit wird der Konflikt um Datenpriorisierung und Netzmanagement auf die europäische Ebene verlagert.

Gegenstand des Verfahrens ist insbesondere, ob der Datentransport datenintensiver Anwendungen wie hochauflösendem Videostreaming während einer Netzüberlastung eingeschränkt oder verlangsamt werden darf. Der betroffene Mobilfunkanbieter sieht dies in seinen Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen vor, um Kapazitäten in ausgelasteten Funkzellen zu steuern. Die Bundesnetzagentur hatte angeordnet, dass diese Klausel nicht umgesetzt werden darf und damit faktisch einen Riegel vor entsprechende Maßnahmen gegen Heavy User geschoben.

In der Vorinstanz hatte sich die Bundesnetzagentur noch durchgesetzt: Das Verwaltungsgericht Köln hatte die Position der Behörde bestätigt. Das OVG änderte diese Entscheidung nun (Az. 13 B 1232/25) und gab dem Anbieter im Eilverfahren Recht. Mit der geplanten Vorlage an den EuGH dürfte der Fall Signalwirkung für die Auslegung europäischer Vorgaben zur Gleichbehandlung von Internetverkehr und zu den Spielräumen der Netzbetreiber beim Umgang mit stark belasteten Mobilfunkzellen entfalten.
