Problem
Patients with chronic heart failure often require invasive open-heart surgery for cardiac support, leading to significant complications and prolonged recovery times. Current solutions may also limit patient mobility and autonomy due to bulky equipment.
Solution
Puzzle Medical Devices is developing ModulHeart, a minimally invasive transcatheter pump designed to provide long-term hemodynamic support for patients with chronic heart failure. The modular design of ModulHeart offers a less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. A portable, lightweight controller maximizes patient mobility, allowing for autonomous function during everyday activities. The system also includes a bedside monitoring station for comprehensive programming and monitoring during procedures.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with chronic heart failure requiring cardiac support, as well as interventional cardiologists and medical centers specializing in minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
