Terumo Heart's
beat grows stronger every day in Ann Arbor.
The U.S. subsidiary of Japan-based Terumo Corporation has watched its staff numbers increase significantly over the last two years - up 25 percent from last year and 35 percent from two years ago. Which brings the total to 125 employees today.
Tuermo Heart has just developed its third generation of heart transplant technology called DuraHeart, a blood pump designed for long-term patient support.
The technology is currently undergoing clinical trails in the U.S. The company hopes to commercialize the product within two years.
Terumo Heart has both its headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Ann Arbor. Its mission is to create products that improve the quality of healthcare for heart failure patients.
