Concentric Medical Inc., a Mountain View Calif.-based developer of medical devices for restoring blood flow in people who have suffered ischemic strokes, has withdrawn registration for a $69 million IPO, due to “unfavorable market conditions.” It had filed last August, with plans to trade on the Nasdaq. Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers were serving as co-lead underwriters.
