Harpoon Medical, Inc. is a Baltimore-based developer of a minimally invasive, image-guided tool for repairing the mitral valve in a beating heart. The technology originated in the Division of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and allows access through a small chest incision without cardiac arrest or bypass. The device enters the left ventricle and places neochords on the leaflets to address mitral regurgitation. The company operates within the medical equipment manufacturing sector and targets surgeons and hospitals seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart repair. Based in Baltimore, it is a small to mid-sized organization focused on beating-heart valve repair solutions. Recent industry reporting indicates Edwards Lifesciences acquired Harpoon Medical in December 2019.
