The Acorn CorCap™ Cardiac Support Device is an investigational device that is being studied as a treatment for patients with moderate to severe heart failure. The CorCap™ CSD is a polyester mesh fabric that is placed around the heart. It is designed to provide support to the heart, which could reduce the stress that causes the heart to enlarge. By reducing the stress on the heart, the heart may be able to repair itself and become a smaller, more efficient pump and reduce the impact of common heart failure symptoms on daily life.
