Medical device innovation in Framingham, Massachusetts

HeartWare International Inc, located at 500 Old Connecticut Path in Framingham, Massachusetts, is a health institution specializing in advanced heart failure management. They offer a range of products for home healthcare professionals, including cardiac rhythm and ventricular assist devices such as the Medtronic HVAD System. This FDA-approved device is a durable VAD used for destination therapy and bridge to transplant. However, as of June 3, 2021, Medtronic has ceased distribution and sale of the HVAD System, prompting physicians to transition to an alternative commercial LVAD for future implants.
