Lazzaro Medical, a Boulder-based medical device company seeking to help millions of people suffering from Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), received a $1 million strategic investment from Northwell Health, New York State's largest healthcare provider.

Lazzaro Medical was founded in 2019 with a mission to help millions breathe easily again by bringing awareness to TBM as a largely under or misdiagnosed disease and offer a less invasive and risky repair option to those suffering from this degenerative condition that causes the collapse of the airway due to the softening of cartilage in the trachea.
