The ViVitro SuperPump enabled a physiologically relevant benchtop platform for evaluating treatment strategies for giant intracranial aneurysms using a rupture-prone 3D-printed model. In this study, researchers implemented a custom flow loop to compare flow diverter-only treatment, flow diverter combined with synthetic thrombus, and flow diverter with liquid embolic, while continuously monitoring intra-aneurysmal pressure and time to rupture. The results demonstrate that benchtop aneurysm testing provides a practical and repeatable approach for assessing treatment performance and mechanical stability under controlled physiological conditions, while underscoring the value of realistic in-vitro models for preclinical device evaluation

The ViVitro Pulse Duplicator enabled a physiologically relevant, ISO 5840-aligned test environment for direct comparison of event-based imaging velocimetry (EBIV) and conventional PIV in a left-heart simulator with a transcatheter mitral valve. The study examined whether EBIV could quantify intraventricular flow with accuracy comparable to PIV under two cardiac-output conditions. Using synchronized, phase-locked acquisitions, the authors showed that EBIV reproduced the main hemodynamic features measured by PIV, including velocity fields, diastolic vortex structures, circulation, Lagrangian trajectories, pulsatile kinetic energy, and dominant POD modes. The work positions EBIV as a data-efficient, high-dynamic-range alternative for cardiac flow analysis, while underscoring the value of the ViVitro platform in delivering realistic, reproducible bench testing for device assessment and translational cardiovascular research.

This study demonstrates how the ViVitro Labs SuperPump enables precise control of flow and stroke, providing the stable and clinically relevant hemodynamic conditions required to accurately quantify leakage. Automated versus manual suturing techniques in Bentall procedures were evaluated using an ex vivo passive beating heart model integrated into an advanced mock circulatory loop (MCL) platform. Twenty porcine hearts underwent Bentall surgery with either automated or manual suturing and were tested under progressively increasing aortic pressures using the ViVitro Labs SuperPump. The results revealed no significant difference in anastomotic leakage between the two techniques, even under hypertensive conditions. These findings indicate that automated suturing achieves comparable holding strength and hemostatic performance to manual methods, supporting its use in complex aortic root procedures.

This work highlights how ViVitro systems enable realistic cardiovascular bench testing for next-generation bioelectronic devices, helping advance translational implant development. Using a ViVitro SuperPump to recreate physiologically relevant pulsatile left-heart conditions, this study evaluates a biodegradable PLLA piezoelectric sensor for real-time monitoring during aortic annuloplasty. The authors enhanced PLLA film performance through uniaxial stretching and thermal annealing, significantly increasing voltage output and enabling stable, pressure-correlated sensing in a ring-like prototype. Within the in-vitro setup, the sensor produced repeatable signals across clinically relevant pressure ranges, supporting its potential as a temporary smart implant.

In this study the ViVitro Labs Pulse Duplicator system played an essential role in simulating physiological aortic and pulmonary flow conditions to assess the hydrodynamic performance of a bioinspired trilayer poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds designed for tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs). By replicating the fibrosa-spongiosa-ventricularis architecture using electrospinning on custom collectors, the authors developed a scaffold (BTS) that successfully mimics the anisotropic and nonlinear ('J-curve') mechanical behavior of native valve leaflets. The BTS exhibited favorable biomechanical performance, excellent biocompatibility, and compliance with ISO 5840-2 criteria. These results highlight the scaffold’s translational promise in pediatric and young adult valve replacements. The successful demonstration of effective orifice area and regurgitation rate compliance underscores the Pulse Duplicator’s value in de-risking translation to clinical applications.

Utilizing the ViVitro Pulse Duplicator, this study simulated a wide range of clinically relevant subaortic membrane (SAM) scenarios to quantify their impact on aortic valve hydrodynamics. By varying membrane stiffness, size, and alignment, the research team demonstrated that hemodynamic compromise becomes significant below a membrane orifice area (MOA) of 75%, with stiff membranes triggering higher pressure gradients and leaflet fluttering. Concentric flexible membranes yielded better outcomes under increasing cardiac output. Notably, the ViVitro platform enabled precise measurement of dynamic variables like regurgitation and fluttering amplitude, underscoring its value in preclinical modeling of disease states and guiding surgical thresholds for intervention

The goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of both healthy and pathological mitral valves by reproducing precisely their anatomical properties and testing them under controlled conditions. Both cavities are surrounded by liquid and are activated by piston-pumps (Vivitro Inc., Victoria, Canada) controlled using LabVIEW8.2. The main finding of this study is that silicon combination EF50DS10 (=V7) was able to replicate the anatomical features of a healthy mitral valve while inducing a normal physiological hemodynamic behavior.

This work models and numerically simulate the influence of blood viscosity on cavitation within tMHVs, using FSI principles. The experiments used a hydro-mechanical pulse duplicator system (ViVitro Superpump System SP3891, ViVitro Labs Inc., Canada) designed to replicate physiological conditions. Our simulations reveal that cavitation is primarily driven by sharp pressure drops during valve closure, with cavitation inception occurring at pressures as low as 4.5 Pa, a level significantly lower than previously reported ranges of 15–20 Pa.

Use of the ViVitro Labs Super Pump to build a complex mock circulatory loop to study the effect of VA-ECMO/IABP combination on the with systemic, coronary, cerebral, and renal circulation. In this study the ViVitro Labs system is used to improve the outcome of clinical procedures. "We used the same silicone circuit as in our previous publication (model ref T-S-N-009+; Elastrat, Geneva, Switzerland). To prevent the formation of air bubbles when testing at a heart rate of 100 bpm, and to improve the quality of aortic flow measurements, a rigid plastic grid was placed in the compliance reservoir tank. We used a pulsatile pump (Superpump; ViVitro Labs, Inc., Victoria, BC, Canada) to simulate cardiac function at the circuit inlet. Positioning the pump in line with the aortic root was the configuration with the fewest disturbances flow and pressure measurements (Figure 1)"

The setup in Figure 1a was adjusted such that the pulsatile flow would be added to the constant output of the other pump. Approximately two cycles were imaged at 1667 fps, resulting in 3000 frames. Singular value decomposition filtering was performed over all 3000 frames"

In this study the accuracy of the flow convergence method was assessed in a hemodynamic reproducible in-vitro environment. The frequency of the pump (ViVitro SuperPump, ViVitro Labs, Inc., Victoria, Canada) is adjusted to 80 bpm and the stroke volume of the pump is set to reach a left ventricular pressure of approximately 120 mmHg. The most obvious finding is that the RVol determined by physicians with the flow convergence methods underestimates the RVol for eight out of nine MROPs.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, typically the descending portion after the left subclavian artery. To create a systolic contraction, the compliant LV sac is squeezed inside a fluid-filled plexiglass container using a programmable piston pump (ViVitro Labs Inc, SuperPump, AR SERIES). Our principal finding is that CoA increases cerebral blood flow and harmful pulsatile energy transmission to the brain.
