With its self-sufficient energy design and thanks to a piezoelectric extender, ALPS™ converts the heart’s kinetic energy into electrical energy; with every heartbeat the device is accumulating the electrical energy necessary to pace the heart in return; thus, creating a perpetual cycle.
ALPS™ is the most innovative answer to date for patients and healthcare professionals.
This is an all-in-one cost-effective solution that saves lives and time.
ALPS™ is the only leadless and self-sustainable cardiac pacemaker using an innovative patented harvester technology.
In a standard pacemaker; the device needs to be replaced every 7-10 years on average depending on the patient’s needs. With ALPS™, there is no need to replace it because it is self-sustainable and has a very low energy consumption.
THE MULTIPLE LIMITATIONS OF TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS
Currently used leadless pacemakers
Leadless pacemaker have been in use for the past few years, but they are limited by their battery life and will therefore also need to be replaced over time, increasing healthcare costs and exposing patients to risks of infections due to repeated implantations.
Conventional pacemakers
The healthy heart has its own pacemaker that regulates the heartbeat’s rate. However, some hearts may require electronic implantable pacemaker to recover a suitable heart rate.
