Innovating Heart Valves for Durability, Scalable Production, and Broader Access

Foldax® combines unique polymer material and computational design to develop our heart valve portfolio of products that is robotically manufactured, creating a disruptive pathway to revolutionize the heart valve market.
LifePolymer™ Material

We are leading the transformation of heart valve technology with LifePolymer™, a durable, biocompatible material engineered to resist calcification and eliminate the need for animal-based components.1,2

Computational Design

Valve leaflets and frames are specifically developed to address the unique stresses of the aortic and mitral positions using computational design.3

Robotic Manufacturing

Leveraging state-of-the-art robotic manufacturing, we deliver heart valves with unmatched precision, consistency, and scalability—meeting the rising demand for high-quality solutions while reducing costs.

LifePolymer™

A Breakthrough in Heart Valve Technology

At Foldax®, we’ve developed LifePolymer™, a unique synthetic polymer that advances heart valve technology beyond traditional flexible tissue and rigid metal valves.

Learn How Foldax® is Transforming Heart Valve Therapy

LifePolymer™ Material Characteristics are not Limited by Constraints and Variability of Animal Tissue 2

LifePolymer™ offers unique engineered properties:

  • Biocompatible and biostable
  • High tensile strength
  • High tear strength
  • Low creep
  • Resists calcification

Pre-Clinical Studies Show that LifePolymer™:

  • Molecular composition withstands greater stresses than the human heart can produce1
  • Resists calcification and does not degrade over time1,2
  • Is biostable and biocompatible1,2

TRIA™ Valve

Chronic Sheep Study

Animal studies show no thrombosis or calcification on leaflet surfaces 4

Computational Design3

  • Advanced modeling techniques are used to design heart valve leaflets and frames to maximize the potential of our LifePolymer™ material.
  • Frames and leaflets are precisely crafted to meet position-specific pressure and flow needs.
  • Valves open and close faster than other valve options due to lower inertia of the individual leaflets.

Robotic Manufacturing

Precision, Consistency, Affordability

Foldax’s® commitment to precision manufacturing is made possible by cutting-edge robotic systems. Our robotic manufacturing process ensures each valve is produced with consistent accuracy and quality, minimizing human error and enhancing the reliability of each valve. 3

Consistency

Robotic systems maintain tight tolerances across production, ensuring that each valve meets exacting quality standards.

Reduced Variability

By minimizing manual intervention, robotic manufacturing reduces inconsistencies, resulting in valves that deliver reliable, predictable results for patients around the world.

Scalability

Automated processes allow us to scale production efficiently, reducing manufacturing time and making advanced valve technology more accessible.
