BiVACOR’s Total Artificial Heart aims to become the world’s first viable alternative to heart transplants.
The fist-sized titanium device pumps blood around the body using just one moving part – a small rotor – that’s held in place magnetically, drastically reducing mechanical wear and tear, and designed for long-term use.
BiVACOR established its international R&D presence at the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct (GCHKP) in 2021 to complete final research and experimentation ahead of human trials.

‘Precincts like the GCHKP, where there’s a university, a hospital, and an innovation space within walking distance of each other, are exceptionally rare… it was a no-brainer for us to join.
‘Tapping the incredible talent from Queensland and creating more bridges between Australia and the US enables ideas to synthesise while supporting their global visualisation – something vital when bringing any big medtech idea to life'.
