For sale is a pair of Thoratec VAD Artificial Heart Study Collectible pumps.

These are in new condition, very nice examples of heart pump engineering.

Thoratec was founded in 1976 and was finally granted FDA approval to use the Thoratec VAD in the late 1990's. This device works just like a heart and helps pump blood and assist the ventricle that is badly damaged. The devices can be used to bridge waiting for a real heart.

A great historical piece of engineering for your cardiovascular library for study.
