Edwards Lifesciences
↗Irvine, USA
Edwards Lifesciences is the global leader in patient-focused medical innovations for structural heart disease and critical care monitoring. The company is renowned for pioneering the first commercially viable heart valve and has since become the dominant player in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with its SAPIEN valve platform.
Following the 2024 divestiture of its Critical Care business to Becton Dickinson, the company has pivoted to focus exclusively on structural heart therapies, including transcatheter mitral and tricuspid technologies (TMTT). Edwards operates a massive global R&D and manufacturing network, consistently reinvesting approximately 17-18% of its revenue into next-generation cardiovascular innovations.
