Tug Of War In The LVAD Market

Heart Failure Start-Ups Balance High-Risk, High-Reward Opportunity
Medtech start-ups are pioneering innovative device solutions for heart failure that they hope will end the vicious cycle of costly hospitalizations and declining patient health. Profiles of Calon-Cardio Technology, Cibiem, and DC Devices.
Calon Cardio-Technology Ltd.
Ventricular assist devices are a viable long-term treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure, but their exorbitant price tag and their propensity to damage blood has limited their use. Calon Cardio-Technology Ltd. hopes to avoid those problems with its MiniVAD, which is similar in size and weight to the smallest existing VADs, but is designed to be more efficient and process blood flow more gently.
