Lifelet Medical Ltd

Lifelet Medical is a Galway‑based biotech start‑up spun out of NUI Galway’s Cardiovascular Research & Innovation Centre. The company is developing a novel, fully synthetic polymer‑based leaflet material for heart‑valve replacements – a biomimetic solution that eliminates the need for animal‑derived pericardium. By creating a durable, cost‑effective and carbon‑light valve, Lifelet aims to improve clinical outcomes, extend valve longevity to a patient’s lifetime and simplify the manufacturing supply chain.

The core offering is an implantable polymer technology that can be produced without the sourcing burdens and waste associated with traditional tissue valves. This “one valve for life” concept promises a single operation, reduced re‑intervention rates and a more sustainable production process. Lifelet’s innovation has already attracted validation from the EIT Health Yes!Delft Validation Lab and a suite of grants and awards, underscoring its potential to reshape heart‑valve therapy for millions of patients worldwide.
