LivaNova
Global medical technology company
LivaNova is a global medical technology company that specializes in the development and manufacture of devices for use in cardiac surgery, neuromodulation, and other medical fields. The company is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and operates in over 100 countries worldwide.
History[edit | edit source]
LivaNova was formed in 2015 through the merger of Sorin Group, an Italian company specializing in cardiac surgery products, and Cyberonics, a U.S.-based company known for its vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy systems. This merger combined Sorin's expertise in cardiac surgery with Cyberonics' innovations in neuromodulation, creating a diversified medical technology company.
Business Segments[edit | edit source]
LivaNova operates through three main business segments:
Cardiac Surgery[edit | edit source]
The cardiac surgery segment focuses on products and technologies used in cardiopulmonary bypass and heart valve repair and replacement. LivaNova is a leading provider of heart-lung machines, oxygenators, and other critical components used during open-heart surgery.
Neuromodulation[edit | edit source]
The neuromodulation segment is centered around the development and commercialization of devices for the treatment of epilepsy and depression. The company's flagship product in this area is the VNS Therapy System, which delivers electrical impulses to the vagus nerve to help control seizures and improve mood.
Advanced Circulatory Support[edit | edit source]
This segment includes products designed to provide temporary support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. LivaNova's offerings in this area include the ExtraCorporeal Life Support (ECLS) systems, which are used to oxygenate and circulate blood outside the body.
