ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford"), a specialty finance firm that provides senior debt to life sciences and healthcare services companies, today announced the closing of an $8 million senior secured term loan with BiO₂ Medical, Inc. ("the Company"). The funds are being used to support the Company as it awaits FDA clearance for its Angel^® Catheter, and for the anticipated U.S. commercial launch of this product in mid-2016.

The Company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and the R&D and manufacturing facility is located in Golden, Colorado. BiO₂ Medical is currently focused on its flagship product, the Angel^® Catheter, a unique medical device designed to give physicians the control to provide temporary, prophylactic pulmonary embolism protection at the patient's bedside.
