CorWave

CorWave SA is a French clinical-stage medical device company, incorporated in 2012 by the startup studio MD Start and headquartered in Clichy, France, that develops implantable cardiac assist pumps for patients with advanced heart failure. Its patented wave membrane technology — a biomimetic polymer membrane driven by an electromagnetic actuator, inspired by the undulating movement of marine animals — produces truly pulsatile, physiological blood flow, differentiating the CorWave LVAS and Nemo pumps from commercially available rotary-pump LVADs. The company has raised more than EUR 80 million, operates an urban manufacturing facility in Clichy, employs more than 90 people, and announced the first in-human implantation of its Left Ventricular Assist System in 2025. CorWave LVAS remains an investigational device and is not approved for commercial use in any country. CorWave publishes no public API, SDK, developer portal, or machine-readable specification.

CorWave is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Medical Devices, Health, Cardiology, and Heart Failure.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  detail: CorWave SA manufactures implantable wave-membrane heart pumps — the CorWave LVAS and Nemo, still investigational
    devices — so its product is hardware in a patient's chest, not software; its 18-URL sitemap contains no developer, API,
    or pricing page and every api/developer/docs/portal subdomain of corwave.com is NXDOMAIN.
