Notes
CorWave is a medical device company developing a revolutionary left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for patients with advanced heart failure. Unlike traditional continuous-flow LVADs, CorWave's pump uses proprietary wave membrane technology to produce pulsatile blood flow that more closely mimics natural heart function.
The company's approach aims to address key limitations of current LVADs, including complications related to continuous blood flow such as gastrointestinal bleeding and arteriovenous malformations.
