Utrecht (The Netherlands) – Nyxoah S.A., a medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of a best-in-class hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), announced today that it successfully raised an additional €15 million ($17.1 million USD) in its most recent round of equity financing. The financing was led by Cochlear Limited (www.cochlear.com), an Australian medical device company (ASX: COH) and global leader in implantable hearing solutions.

Nyxoah recently completed the BLAST-OSA (BiLAteral Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea) clinical study, an essential milestone for its CE marking dossier already submitted to the European regulatory body.
