The NovaPump GmbH is a cardiology company based in Jena/Germany devoloping cutting-edge therapeutical solutions in the field of non-invasive and percutaneous circulation support.
The so called PERKAT (PERKutane KATheterpumpe) technique will be offered as pLVAD & pRVAD heart pumps for acute left or right heart patients within the next years.
PERKAT works together with the current IABP technique (intra aortic balloon pump with about 200,000 cases p.a. internationally) and is the only-one catheter-based & self-expanding, pulsatile & ECG-triggered, cost-effective heart pump technique with a high pump performance. PERKAT is not available on the market so far.
Articles in leading scientific journals and presentations at the top four international cardiology conferences in the last years show the medical need, the development status and the technological and medical advantages of PERKAT.
