Product Categories
Edwards Lifesciences leverages its design, development and marketing expertise through these product categories:
Heart Valve Therapy
Edwards is the world’s number-one heart valve company, including tissue replacement heart valves and valve repair products, such as those marketed under the Carpentier-Edwards, Cosgrove-Edwards and Edwards Prima Plus product brands. The company invests more than any other in the advanced treatment of cardiovascular disease and is currently pursuing less–invasive, catheter-based approaches to treat heart valve disease.
Critical Care
Edwards has been a world leader in this area for more than 30 years, developing the Swan-Ganz brand line of hemodynamic monitoring devices for measuring heart pressure and output during surgical procedures and in post-surgical intensive care settings. Additional critical care products include advanced venous access products, antimicrobial catheters, disposable pressure transducers and a blood-management protection system.
Cardiac Surgery
Edwards produces the Research Medical brand line of disposable cannulae used during cardiopulmonary bypass and the EMBOL-X embolic management system for use during cardiac surgeries.
Vascular Therapies
Edwards’ vascular products include the Fogarty brand line of balloon-tipped catheters, catheter-based products and surgical clips and inserts.
Transcatheter Valve Interventions
Edwards is the leader in the development of new, experimental technologies designed for the non-surgical repair or replacement of heart valves. These transcatheter heart valve technologies would allow clinicians to repair or replace heart valves through a catheter, eliminating the need for open-heart surgery. While the products are currently in development, Edwards believes the technologies hold a great deal of promise for many people who are not good candidates for surgery.
