DeBakey VADŽ | | | General Information | |
| Vendor | | Micromed s.r.l. | | Item | | DeBakey VADŽ | | Features | | - Miniaturized size and light weight: About 1/10 the size of competitive pulsatile VAD products on the market and weighing less than four ounces, the MicroMed DeBakey VADŽ measures 1" x 3". This smaller size gives a treatment hope to those with smaller body types, such as petite women and children, because larger devices cannot be implanted in them. The small size of the device and flexible percutaneous cable should also provide lower infection rates.
- Reduced surgical time: Our current experience shows surgical time to be 1˝ hours, about one-half the time of implanting pulsatile devices.
- Cost: The MicroMed DeBakey VADŽ is projected to be 1/3 less expensive than currently marketed pulsatile VADs, making the process more affordable to a wider group of patients.
- Reduced complications: The device's potential for decreased rates of hemolysis and thromboembolic complications improves the safety of the MicroMed DeBakey VADŽ for patients
- Simplicity of design: The device only contains one moving part, the inducer/impeller. Third party studies project that the mechanical durability will last in excess of five years.
- Patient quality of life: The MicroMed DeBakey VADŽ is virtually silent when compared to other devices, improving patient comfort while on the device. Additionally, the VADPAK enables patient mobility to preserve quality of life.
