HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - Oct 5, 2016 - ORI Healthcare Fund L.P. ("ORI Fund") announces the completion of US$30 million Series-A investment in Enable Injections Inc. (the "Company" or "Enable"), a Cincinnati-based medical device company focusing on developing and manufacturing wearable medical devices that enable patient self-administration of high volume biologic injectables. ORI Fund is the lead investor in the series, syndication members include CincyTech, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Ohio Innovations Fund and Cintrifuse.

The platform technology developed by Enable Injections will allow subcutaneous injection of up to 50ml of any biologic injectables.

The Company is currently in discussion with over ten pharmaceutical companies on partnering opportunities and has already signed development and manufacturing contracts with CSL Behring. The investment from Series-A investors will help the Company further its business development efforts.

The transaction is consistent with ORI Fund's investment philosophy to invest in innovative companies that can significantly improve the existing standard of care. "We believes that there is significant market demand for bolus injectors. With respect to delivering high volume biologics, Enable Injections will be the pioneer who can change the standard of care. It is very fulfilling to be able to invest in Enable's technology that bring value to all key stakeholders in the healthcare world, patients, providers and payors", commented Ms. Simone Song, Senior Partner of ORI Fund.
