What Defines Berlin Heart
At Berlin Heart we do everything we can to provide people with heart failure with the best possible care. The aim of our work is to ensure that these patients live well despite their illness. These are our guiding principles:
Partnership
We support our users during the entire VAD therapy: from patient selection and preparation to implantation and postoperative care. Therefore, we provide a top level 24/7 medical and technical support.
Outstanding quality
Berlin Heart products and services stand for high quality “Made in Germany”. We produce our blood pumps, cannulae and driving units at our headquarters in Berlin-Lankwitz. Regular audits and certification processes prove the quality of our products.
Future orientation
We invest about half of our turnover in research and development projects. Using state-of-the-art technologies and professional expertise, we are constantly working to develop new products as well as develop existing products further. In research groups, we discuss with clinicians how the VAD therapy can be improved.
Responsibility
With our products we support newborns and children, for whom no approved long-term support exists otherwise. Our sense of responsibility towards patients with heart disease is also reflected in our commitment. For example, we support the McDonald's Kinderhilfe and are committed to an open discussion on organ donation.
