NEWHEART DEVICES holds the patent on a continuous flow (pulseless) artificial heart comprised of paired ventricular assist devices (VADs). The technology, still in the early development stage and virtually entirely funded by federal grants, was featured on the March 2012 cover of Popular Science after a trial version was implanted in a Houston man where it maintained life for five weeks.
