Quintuple aim

Foldax® is a medical device company reinventing heart valve technology from the ground up, rethinking material, design, and manufacturing to overcome the historical tradeoffs between tissue and mechanical valves. Its TRIA™ valves are made from LifePolymer™, a novel biocompatible polymer engineered to resist calcification and reduce the need for anti-coagulation, and are produced using robotic manufacturing for greater precision, consistency, and scalability. Designed to serve a broader range of patients – including younger individuals and those with conditions like rheumatic heart disease – Foldax aims to deliver heart valves built to last a lifetime.
