Getting Your Life Back with C-Pulse®

Imagine a heart assist system that reduces the effects of moderate heart failure and improves your quality of life. That’s what the C-Pulse System is setting out to accomplish. By using proven balloon counter-pulsation technology, C-Pulse may reduce the stress on your heart's pumping chamber while increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries of the heart.  This may provide relief from shortness of breath and allow an increase in your physical activity.

What Makes C-Pulse Different?

The C-Pulse System may be implanted by minimally invasive techniques. The system sits outside the bloodstream, reducing the risk of stroke and blood clots and potentially eliminating the need for anti-clotting medications. The need for anti-clotting medications will be based on your clinicians input. Finally, the device can be entirely disconnected, meaning patients can shower or take a walk completely independent from the system.
