I’m retired from the NHS. Nerd like interest in engineering, equipment, and patient safety. What interests me here: if we ignore the big players in the market, RUA are approaching the heart valve market from the opposite direction to normal.
To the best of my knowledge, most of the polymer based valve research starts in science funded labs. British Heart Foundation, organisations like that. They design the valve, then consider how it’s manufactured in bulk.
RUA are different in that bulk manufacturing is what they do. They’ll have considered this as an integral part of their R&D. To me, this makes them a more serious, though at present small, player in the market.
