The Carbothane driveline was designed with your patients’ needs in mind and with the goal of continuing to improve driveline management. The enhanced driveline now features:

  • A UV-resistant outer sheath to inhibit cracking and discoloration.1
  • Increased flexibility, enabling patients to bend and secure the driveline to their abdomen for a more comfortable placement.1
  • The same small outer diameter as the previous Pellethane® HVAD driveline (4.8 mm).
  • Redundant pacemaker-grade wires.

Since the Carbothane driveline launched in the U.S. in 2018, there has been a reduction in the reported incidence of driveline infections.2

THIS IS HVAD,  ENHANCED WITH THE  CARBOTHANE DRIVELINE.
