PVAD: a Linear, Pulsatile, Peristaltic Ventricular Assist Device Mechanism
This invention is a modified linear peristaltic pump. This pumps utilizes a pulsatile mechanism, other than a traditional rotary pump that is often used in ventricular assist devices, to pump the blood, which help decrease blood clots.
Background:
Ventricular Assistant Devices (VADs) help consistently pump from the lower chambers of the heart to...
