Berlin Heart EXCOR

The Berlin Heart EXCOR is a specialized medical device designed to support children with severe heart failure who need temporary assistance while waiting for a heart transplant or recovery. It functions as an external pump that helps circulate blood, taking over the heart’s pumping job. The device attaches to the patient’s blood vessels via tubes and operates outside the body, providing crucial support to maintain blood flow and oxygen delivery. Its adjustable settings allow healthcare providers to tailor support to each child's needs, improving their chances of survival during critical times.
