Technology Overview
The Origami-Inspired Aortic Heart Valve (OIAHV) is a novel heart valve that employs a unique hexagonal frame with six triangular flaps, aiming to overcome the limitations of current heart valve replacements by improving blood flow dynamics and durability while minimizing the risk of blood clot formation.
Key Advantages
- Enhanced Geometric and Effective Orifice Areas (GOA and EOA) for improved blood flow
- Independent flap actuation to reduce the risk of total valve failure
- Simplified manufacturing process
- Lowered thrombogenicity, reducing the necessity for patients to take anticoagulants
Problems Addressed
- Thrombogenicity associated with mechanical and bio-prosthetic heart valves
- Hemodynamic disruption and mechanical fatigue from current valve designs
- Complexities and high costs of manufacturing traditional heart valves
Market Applications
- Replacement for mechanical and bio-prosthetic heart valves in patients with valve disease
- Use in heart valve repair and replacement surgeries
- Potential for easier transcutaneous delivery systems due to optimized design
