Allux Medical

Allux Medical was a private U.S. medical device company based in Menlo Park, California, focused on developing devices for treatment of hyper-reactive upper airway mucosa. The company was formerly known as MedInvent and raised venture financing from firms including Venrock, Three Arch Partners, and Prospect Venture Partners. Public company-profile sources indicate that Allux Medical ceased operations in February 2009. Available public information suggests it was a development-stage/device company rather than a therapeutics developer, and there is no clearly documented drug pipeline or clinical-stage pharmaceutical portfolio under the Allux Medical name.
