MC3 Cardiopulmonary designs and manufactures devices for cardiopulmonary support, grounding its work in patient physiology and hemodynamics. Founded in 1991 to commercialize University of Michigan intellectual property related to artificial heart and lung technologies, it has become a respected presence in the extracorporeal life support research community. Based in Dexter, Michigan, the company operates with a small-to-mid sized team and focuses on developing product solutions informed by caregiver needs and critical clinical requirements. In its cardiopulmonary device field, MC3 targets environments where extracorporeal life support is used and seeks to address unmet patient-care needs. A notable recent development is Medtronic's acquisition of MC3 Cardiopulmonary in March 2024, with the VitalFlow technology highlighted as a key outcome of the integration.
