Anteris® Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.
Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR® THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT® anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.
Located in our Malaga office, the Tissue Processing Operator will receive, inspect, clean, and process raw animal pericardium into an intermediate ethanol-treated state suitable for further downstream manufacturing, in accordance with GMP, ISO 13485, and internal company procedures. At Anteris® Technologies, you’ll join a team committed to improving the lives of patients with aortic stenosis through groundbreaking structural heart solutions. This is an opportunity to make a measurable impact on patient outcomes while shaping the future of heart valve innovation.
