ABOUT

PolyNova Cardiovascular, Inc. is a private, for-profit, start-up medical device company, incorporated in Delaware and operating in New York State. PolyNova is housed in the Long Island High Technology Incubator on the campus of Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY. 

 

PolyNova was established in 2012 as a commercial spin-off from years of state, VC, and federally funded academic research into polymeric heart valves. The mission of PolyNova is to successfully bring to market an innovative, safe and effective polymer-based Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of aortic stenosis (AS).
