“We have a great opportunity to take over what many consider to be a neglected market. ENT surgeons want a faster, safer procedure for eardrum repair while patients and parents want to avoid surgery,” Elaine Horn-Ranney, cofounder and CEO of Tympanogen said in a statement. “Tympanogen is committed to transforming traditional tympanoplasty procedures into a quick, safe office visit. We are grateful for the support of CIT GAP Funds, whose contributions will play an important role in eliminating medical complications for thousands of patients.”
