Levitronix® utilizes state of the art technology to produce a new generation of blood pumps that provide hemodynamic support with minimal blood trauma. Unlike conventional devices, the Levitronix CentriMag® blood pump does not contain seals or bearings which are components known to cause hemolysis and promote thrombus formation. Similarly, Levitronix pumps do not contain flexing sacs, diaphragms, or valves, which may degrade and fail thereby limiting the potential duration of use. By eliminating the bearings and avoiding flexing components, the CentriMag® VAS is designed for longer life and reliability and to ideally reduce the incidence of device-related adverse effects.
