As quoted in the @HoustonChron, Dr. William E. “Billy” Cohn compares the evolution of the @BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart to that of an aircraft, "the first airplane without flapping wings."
Thanks to @JulianGi11 at the Houston Chronicle for the feature ⤵️
The non-contact suspension of the rotor via MAGLEV is designed to eliminate the potential for mechanical wear and provide large blood gaps that minimize blood trauma, offering a durable, reliable, and biocompatible heart replacement.
