Visit to Berlin Heart GmbH

Berlin Heart GmbH wants to provide people with heart failure with the best possible care and improve their quality of life with its products for mechanical heart support. Blood pumps, cannulas and drives are produced at the headquarters in Berlin-Lankwitz. Reason enough for the members of the WiB Science, Research and Medicine group to find out more about the development of the innovative machines and their production on November 16th, 2023.

Dr. Ares K. Menon, one of the managing directors of the GmbH and a trained specialist in cardiac surgery, took the time to give us a clear and very impressive lecture about the diseased heart and cardiac support systems. He also worked in the field of pediatric heart surgery, and it is important to him to be able to use Berlin Heart products to help newborns and children for whom there is no other approved long-term support.

His enthusiasm for his work spread to all participants and led to many questions and great interest in the topic. The impressive tour of the company, to which we felt very welcome, ended long after the scheduled time.
