• Will SynCardia's Emperor be capable of boldly going where no artificial heart has gone before?

  In this week’s episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker talks with SynCardia CEO Patrick Schnegelsberg and COO Matthew Schuster. Twenty years after FDA approval, SynCardia is the only company with a commercially available total artificial heart, with more than 2,000 implants. Now they're developing what they think will be a game-changer for the technology: a next-gen artificial heart called the Emperor that will be a fully implantable version, without external drivers. But before the interview Host Tom Salemi gives a quick recap of the MassMedic Symposium and Gala. Then, Chris Newmarker and Senior Editor Danielle Kirsh unpack MassDevice’s new report on surgical robotic companies.
