FORMOSUS
Polymeric heart valves
Made from polymeric materials that are specifically engineered for heart valve application, FORMOSUS valves will have an extended lifespan without necessitating anticoagulants.
-
Proprietary polymeric materials with excellent biostability for blood-contacting medical applications
-
Novel valve designs for maximised hydrodynamic performance
-
Automated, fast, and cost-effective manufacturing process
FORMOSUS polymeric heart valves are investigational and are not available for sale.
They are not FDA approved and their clinical safety and efficacy have not been demonstrated.
The proprietary polymeric material​ from which FORMOSUS leaflets are made of is specifically designed to withstand long-term hydrolysation and oxidation in the body.
​
The polymer chains lack any chemical bond prone to oxidation and hydrolysis.
Additionally, the polymer prevents the formation of calcium deposit and blood clot.
FORMOSUS valve designs, such as leaflets and frame, are developed by combining computational modelling and machine learning.
​
The geometrical parameters of FORMOSUS valves are optimised through computational modelling-machine learning loop to maximise opening (EOA), minimise leakage (RF), and reduce mechanical fatigue (s).
