AbioCor

The AbioCor is an advanced artificial heart designed to replace a damaged biological heart. It is a fully self-contained, implantable device that restores blood circulation in patients with end-stage heart failure. Powered by a portable external unit, it allows patients a better quality of life compared to traditional support systems. The AbioCor is made of durable materials and includes sensors to monitor and respond to the body’s needs, making it a significant step toward more effective and longer-lasting artificial organs. It is used in carefully selected patients, offering a lifeline when other treatments are no longer effective.
