The BVS® 5000 was the first external/outside the body (extracorporeal) ventricular assist device on the market and is the most widely used bridge to recovery device with systems located in more than 700 institutions throughout the world.

The BVS® 5000 has supported thousands of patients ranging from 8 to 84 years old in over 500 medical centers. It was the first FDA-approved device for the support of all patients with reversible heart failure.
