Levacor VAD™

How it Works

The Levacor pump and its components are shown schematically in Figure 1. The impeller is suspended entirely by magnetic levitation within a cavity formed by the upper and lower pump housings. The fully assembled pump is about the size of an ice hockey puck.

Levacor pump components:

  1. Inlet cap
  2. Upper pump housing
  3. Impeller
  4. Lower pump housing
