Escala Medical is a Femtech medical device company from Israel that develops an incision free repair solution for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Founded in 2014, the company’s goal is to let women restore pelvic floor function in minutes with an outpatient procedure, so they can quickly return to normal daily life. Escala is part of The Trendlines Group’s portfolio and focuses on shifting POP treatment from hospital surgery to safer, office based care.

Its main product, Mendit, is an FDA cleared device that repairs POP using a minimally invasive, vaginal, incision free approach. The device anchors sutures to pelvic ligaments through a navigation and fixation mechanism, so surgeons can suspend the vaginal apex without cutting tissue. This design reduces procedure time, anesthesia needs, and recovery time, while aiming to improve quality of life and access to care for women in the US and, soon, Europe and Asia.

Key Services Offered by Escala Medical

• Incision free POP repair device (Mendit) – offers a minimally invasive, office based repair option for pelvic organ prolapse that avoids traditional surgical cuts and dissection.
• Outpatient pelvic floor procedure – enables a short procedure (around 10–20 minutes) under mild local anesthesia, helping patients return to daily activity quickly.
• Surgeon focused training and support – provides education, proctoring, and materials so urogynaecologists and pelvic surgeons can safely adopt the new technique.
• Global market expansion and access – works with partners and distributors to bring the device to the US, Europe (with CE mark expected), and Southeast Asia.
• Research and clinical innovation in women’s health – runs studies and develops new indications to improve POP care and expand options for women at different stages of the condition.

Clinical and Patient Benefits

Escala’s solution is designed to reduce surgical risk, pain, and hospital stays compared with conventional POP surgery. By moving treatment into the doctor’s office, it can reach more women, cut waiting times, and lower costs for health systems and patients.

Funding and Growth

Escala Medical has raised more than 8 million USD through grants and investments, including a €2.5 million EIC Accelerator grant and a $4.5 million round led by the EIC Fund. The new funding supports commercial rollout in the US, market entry in Europe, and expansion in Asia via regional partners.
