Calyxo Inc. has closed $32 million in Series C financing, the company announced in a press release. The financing was led by CRG and Questa Capital; Calyxo will use the funds to evolve its kidney stone treatment solutions.

The medical device company developed the CVAC Aspiration System, which addresses the issue of providing consistent stone-free surgical outcomes. Joe Catanese, president and CEO, founded NeoTract, a minimally invasive technology that treats urinary tract symptoms. Many of NeoTract’s team members have been recruited as board members for Calyxo, according to the release.
