The HVAD™ System is a full-support, durable left ventricular assist device (VAD) that received the CE mark for a less-invasive thoracotomy approach, destination therapy, and bridge to transplant.
DOWNLOAD BROCHUREThe HVAD™ Pump is the world’s smallest commercially available, full-support, centrifugal VAD, enabling unmatched procedural versatility.1
The HVAD Pump is engineered for reliability and durability.
The pump's passive maglev with hydrodynamic bearings means there's no need for electronic sensors or mechanical bearings. This results in a less complex system that eliminates friction, heat, and component wear.2
Dual motor stators enhance efficiency and provide redundancy to rotate the impeller.2
A patented, wide-blade impeller features three blood flow paths. These are designed to enhance blood flow and reduce blood trauma while reducing the time blood travels through the device.2
The unique, integrated inflow cannula design offers the flexibility to fit into smaller-framed patients and treat more complex patients.3-8 It also allows for stable inflow position, even with body habitus changes.9
