INCOR®
is an implantable left ventricle assist device. Its global uniqueness
lies in the free floating, active magnetic bearing of the axial
impeller.
INCOR®
has been specially conceived to deal with
increasing long-term applications within the “Destination Therapy”
framework, so that it is in a position to take over the work of the
left ventricle without any wear to the parts and on a permanent basis.
Naturally, INCOR®
is also used in the “Bridge to Transplant” and “Bridge
to Recovery” programs.
In addition to the implantable pump, the
INCOR®
System also includes a small external control unit and
re-chargeable batteries with whose help the patient can enjoy almost
unrestricted mobility. Further external components are a laptop,
through which the pump can be started up, monitored and adjusted.
There's also a power supply unit and a battery charger.
We would be very pleased to provide you with additional information.
