Lifelet Medical is on a mission to deliver one valve for life for patients suffering from heart valve disease. Lifelet is developing a disruptive polymeric heart valve replacement to transcend the limitations of mechanical and animal tissue-based devices available to patients today. Combining the durability of mechanical valves with the blood compatibility and minimally invasive delivery of animal tissue valves, Lifelet’s fully synthetic device aims to enable improved patient outcomes and reduced complications with easier deliverability, enhanced durability, and cost savings for healthcare systems through automated manufacturing and processing.
There are 1.2 million patients in the U.S. with severe aortic valve stenosis, and over half of these patients are symptomatic, requiring a heart valve replacement. The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) market size is €4B, expected to growth to €7B+ by 2024, with a double-digit CAGR. Thanks to recent clinical trials, indications are being expanded for younger patients, asymptomatic patients, and those at low and intermediate risk for surgery, driving growth of the market. Cardiologists will Lifelet's device with existing reimbursement in place. As a platform technology, the Lifelet polymer may also offer clinical benefits in the treatment of obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, and incontinence.
