The company said the proceeds will be used to widen staffing resources, market its range of products, provide funding towards the FDA Medical Device Compliance, IT & Data Compliance and CE mark clearance, research and develop new products, and fund overheads.
Robert Rauker, CEO of Belluscura, said: “These additional funds will allow us to accelerate our sales effort and the commercial roll-out of the first of our portfolio of oxygen concentrators under development.
“Our patented oxygen enrichment technology is designed to positively impact millions of people across the globe suffering from serious respiratory diseases.
“Our debut on the AIM market will see us well-positioned for commercial growth and well-financed to support the launch of our FDA cleared X-PLO₂R portable oxygen concentrator as well as advancing the other products within our portfolio to commercial launch.”
