Siren Raises $9.5M, Led by an $8M Investment from Mölnlycke to Drive Diabetic Foot Ulcer Prevention and Management
Putting on Siren Socks
Siren announces investment by Mölnlycke of $8 million to further development and adoption of Siren’s innovative diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) prevention solutions.
More than 830 million people globally live with diabetes, many of whom are at risk of developing DFUs, leading to severe complications, including amputations. Siren’s flagship product, Siren Socks, uses patented technology to detect early signs of potential foot injuries, reducing the risk of DFUs by up to 68% and amputations by 83%. Coupled with remote patient monitoring services, Siren’s ecosystem provides comprehensive care that enhances patient outcomes, and reduces healthcare costs.
“This partnership represents a major milestone in our journey to redefine DFU prevention and management,” said Ran Ma, co-founder and CEO of Siren. “Mölnlycke’s investment underscores the importance of preventive technologies in tackling chronic conditions like DFUs. Together, we aim to empower patients with tools that help them stay healthy and independent while easing the load on healthcare providers. Prevention is the key to avoiding painful, costly, and life-altering complications.”
A Shared Vision for Innovation in Wound Care
The investment aligns with Mölnlycke’s strategic focus on innovative solutions and digital ecosystems. Siren’s temperature-sensing socks provide real-time monitoring of patients’ feet, detecting hotspots that indicate potential ulcers. Alerts are automatically sent to remote wound care teams, enabling timely interventions and ensuring early triage of high-risk cases. This proactive approach reduces unnecessary procedures, improves patient quality of life, and brings down costs for both patients and healthcare systems.
Zlatko Rihter, CEO of Mölnlycke, commented “Our strategic investment in Siren reflects our commitment to integrating into digital ecosystems and pioneering innovative digital solutions that revolutionise healthcare delivery. Helping to prevent wounds from occurring is also in line with Mölnlycke’s Wound Care mission to ‘help free patients from the burden of wounds and our ambition to further support healthcare in the post-acute segment.”
Looking Ahead
With Mölnlycke’s support, Siren is poised to expand its reach and further integrate its technology into healthcare systems. The partnership combines Mölnlycke’s extensive market knowledge and established presence in wound care with Siren’s groundbreaking technology, setting the stage for a future where DFUs can be prevented before they even occur.
