Receive the latest updates from the ongoing long-term CE Mark trial for Synergy Meet members from CircuLite"s management team About Synergy® The Synergy® Pocket Micro-pump represents a new approach to mechanical circulatory support that can transform chronic heart failure management by providing a less-invasive, elective treatment option for patients before their disease state becomes emergent. Synergy is the first implantable system designed to provide partial circulatory support (PCS) for long-term use in millions of unserved patients that have NYHA Class IIIb/early IV disease. CircuLite"s patented micro-pump provides up to 3L/min of flow, which increases total cardiac output, offloads the heart, allowing it to rest, and potentially enables beneficial recovery of heart function. The size of a AA battery, the device is small enough to be implanted subcutaneously in a "pacemaker-like" pocket through a minimally-invasive procedure. CircuLite®
