Titanové srdce s maglevem vstoupilo do  klinických testů

Poptávka na transplantace srdce i dalších orgánů neustále narůstá. Vhodné orgány přitom neustále scházejí, což má dramatické důsledky. Společnost BiVACOR vyvinula plně mechanické titanové srdce s maglevem, v němž díky magnetické levitaci dochází k minimalizaci tření.
