Paragon 28, Inc., a leading orthopedic foot and ankle company, today announced the completion of a Series B financing. The round was co-led by MVM Partners, a healthcare growth equity investment firm, and Piper Sandler Merchant Banking, a commercial stage growth equity investment business of Piper Sandler Companies. The financing also included participation from an existing Series A investor.

The new financing will support Paragon 28’s ongoing initiatives to develop and launch new products, including the recently FDA cleared APEX 3DTM Total Ankle Replacement System, as well as continued commercial expansion in the US and international markets.

Albert DaCosta, President and CEO of Paragon 28, commented “We are pleased to add this capital to our balance sheet and equally excited about the partnership. The Series B proceeds will enable our team to focus on the best growth opportunities and expand our market position. To close this round on the tenth anniversary of the company is a special moment for our team.”

Kevin Cheng, a partner at MVM, noted “The foot and ankle segment of orthopedics is a relatively new surgical specialty. Paragon 28 is relentlessly focused on improving procedures through an extensive array of novel products that are specifically engineered for lower extremities. We are impressed by the advancements that the Paragon team has made, and we are delighted with the opportunity to support the business through its next phase of growth.”

Tom Schnettler, managing director with Piper Sandler Merchant Banking, added “The team at Paragon 28 has brought tremendous focus and innovation to the foot and ankle segment, an area of the orthopedics market that is growing rapidly and traditionally has been under-served. The company’s innovative solutions and extensive product line benefit surgeons and patients in addressing even the most difficult foot and ankle conditions. We are excited to partner with Paragon 28 and support the company’s mission to innovate and improve foot and ankle surgical outcomes.”
