Note – To reduce development time, cost and speed to clinic the Valvublator team utilizes where-ever and when-ever possible readily available components and devices. We believe this is just plain smart. Our surgical decalcification device is adapted from a dental plaque scaler. Our vibrational energy device intended for bulk calcification removal is adapted from an vibrational energy engraving device normally used to etch words on silverware. Our citric acid pulse jet sprayer finishing device in early stage testing for dissolving and washing away last remnants of calcified material from the heart valves is adapted from a Water Pik TM device used in cleaning plaque from teeth crevices. The citric acid itself is simply lemon juice acquired from a well known supplier (it works for dissolving soft calcification deposits and seems to be safe in low volumes). Our bioelectric protein expression basket catheter is adapted from a EP basket catheter that has been on the market and used on thousands of hearts with success and is well known to the FDA. Our embolic filters are adapted from filters already developed by others for capturing emboli fragments during surgical or TAVR procedures. This method of innovation is foundational to our core principle to not re-invent a wheel unless absolutely necessary. Fundamental to keeping the cost and time for developing a new product lower which we hope translates to better and more rapid returns to all stakeholders.

Our bioelectric stimulator made in Anaheim, California on an OEM private label basis for us has FDA 510K market clearance for improving blood circulation, muscle healing, improvement of muscle motion, pain relief, preventing thrombosis in certain circumstances and joint treatment. Our supplier has had an earlier version of this product on the market since the 1950’s primarily for muscle healing applications in sports medicine. We re-programmed this existing stimulator with our bioelectric signals for stem cell homing, myogenesis and arteriogenesis that all fell within the range of frequencies, wave forms, voltages and amperages (micro current) already cleared by the FDA. Once again utilizing readily a readily available device partially re-purposed this application of use. Innovation done the smart way.
