Realheart

Realheart is developing the world's first artificial four-chamber heart, designed to mimic the way the natural heart works. The pump membrane, that separates the blood from the drive system, is a critical component of the design. Realheart's simulations and tests have shown the precise properties the membrane needs to have to last and to minimize the risk of failure, something that would have immediate consequences for patient safety. The membranes must be manufactured with high precision and unwavering repeatability. The best way to achieve this is to automate the manufacturing process. Therefore, Realheart is collaborating in this project with Berlin Heart, an expert in the field of development and manufacture of membrane technologies successfully used in their extracorporeal MCS devices.
