Quality of Life

Ascites has a dramatic impact on the quality of life of those affected patients.
When we were developing the alfapump® system our goal was simple: develop an automated system to eliminate the need for repeated invasive procedures helping to keep patients out of the hospital and live a more free and independent life.

Patients we interviewed that had been implanted with the alfapump® reported that they were eating, breathing and sleeping better; were able to cook for their family again, go on vacation without worrying about getting back in time for the paracentesis; feeling strong enough to do anything they wanted to do. Also their family members experienced a big change and were able to enjoy life together again.
