"The BiVACOR TAH is the first device designed to replace an entire heart with a long-term solution. Nobody has done that before." – Daniel Timms, Founder & CTO of BiVACOR In the coming months, our BiVACOR total artificial heart (TAH) will undergo evaluation as a bridge to heart transplant for biventricular heart failure patients. Dive into the Engineers Australia article below to discover how the BiVACOR TAH came to fruition, and visit our website (www.bivacor.com) to learn more!

Watch as our Chief Medical Officer, William Cohn, presented the BiVACOR® Total Artificial Heart (TAH) at The Texas Heart Institute's Cardiology Grand Rounds. We're proud to partner with The Texas Heart Institute and other leading heart transplant institutions on our upcoming first-in-human Early Feasibility Studies. Our novel TAH uses magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) technology, the same principle used in high-speed trains, the design includes left and right vanes positioned on a common rotor to form the only moving part, a magnetically suspended double-sided centrifugal impeller. Even though there are no valves or flexing ventricle chambers, the pulsatile outflow is made possible by rapidly cycling the rotational speed of the impeller. The non-contact suspension provides large blood gaps minimizing blood trauma and eliminating mechanical wear to offer a durable, reliable, and biocompatible heart replacement.

On Monday at #THT2024, BiVACOR® founder & CTO Daniel Timms presented our novel Total Artificial Heart (TAH). What is the BiVACOR TAH? 👇 The BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart is designed as the first long-term therapy dedicated to patients with severe biventricular heart failure. It is an implantable total artificial heart based on rotary blood pump technology. Similar in size to an adult fist, it is small enough to be implanted in many women and some children yet capable of providing enough cardiac output to an adult male undergoing exercise. Using magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) technology, the same principle used in high-speed trains, the design includes left and right vanes positioned on a common rotor to form the only moving part, a magnetically suspended double-sided centrifugal impeller. Even though there are no valves or flexing ventricle chambers, the pulsatile outflow is made possible by rapidly cycling the rotational speed of the impeller. The non-contact suspension provides large blood gaps minimizing blood trauma and eliminating mechanical wear to offer a durable, reliable, and biocompatible heart replacement.
