Wave Membrane Heart Pump
Central to CorWave`s offerings, the CorWave LVAD and Nemo, is a groundbreaking patented technology: the wave membrane pump, innovated by Jean-Baptiste Drevet. Evolving over two decades of intensive research and development, this membrane emulates the functionality of the natural heart. Distinguishing CorWave from conventional rotary pump LVADs, this disruptive technology endows CorWave LVAD and Nemo with the ability to deliver unparalleled physiological blood flow, setting them apart in the realm of cardiac support devices.
The wave membrane, a biomimetic marvel, draws inspiration from the rhythmic undulation seen in marine animals. This natural movement serves as an efficient means for these creatures to navigate through fluid environments. CorWave ingeniously applies this concept in its pumps, where a polymer membrane mimics a reversed version of this interaction: the fixed membrane interacts with and propels the fluid (blood) through its unique design, showcasing a sophisticated adaptation of nature`s fluid dynamics.
