The Cleveland clinic/foster miller magscrew pulsatile blood pump program

摘要

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Foster Miller Technologies have been working to develop next generation pulsatile Total Artificial Hearts (TAH), and Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) based on a common technology base. Both of our designs use the "MagScrew" actuator technology and "biolized" pusher plate blood pump technology. The result is compact, rugged pumps of high performance and biocompatibility. The TAH is now undergoing its pre-clinical readiness program, while the VAD is completing engineering development.
