Impella - Model LD -5.0 - Minimally Invasive or Surgically Implanted Heart Pumps

SHARE

Impella 5.0 is a temporary, minimally invasive heart pump that provides circulatory support, enabling the heart to rest and recover. Impella LD is a surgically implanted heart pump that provides temporary support to the heart during and after a procedure. Impella 5.0 and Impella LD heart pumps allow patients to walk around while on support to improve recovery, if inserted via the axillary artery near the shoulder. These heart pumps allow for the opportunity to provide longer duration of support for critically ill patients and a longer period to assess heart recovery.
