Hi
I'm not sure if this is the same one that's been mentioned here before but I thought this was interesting
https://www.manmonthly.com.au/news/australian-research-develops-first-polymer-heart-valve/
A polymer heart valve, designed in Australia, has been successful implanted in a patient, for a world first.
The joint project between CSIRO and medical device manufacturer Foldax created the Tria heart valve.
The valve uses a proprietary CSIRO polymer which could pump blood for decades without calcification, risk of clotting, or damage to red blood cells.
Designed by CSIRO in Australia, the polymer valve acts against aortic valve disease, which occurs when the main pumping chamber of the heart and the body’s main artery stop functioning properly.
The polymer which CSIRO designed, named LifePolymer, is a biopolymer manufactured to be used in critical surgical procedures.
Post Script: I see that this is the same research as mentioned on this thread

FDA approves a new Biopolymer Heart Valve trial by Foldax
I came across this article the other day and the more I research the new technology behind the Biopolymer heart valve, the more intrigued I get! It's definitely worth following.... Biopolymer Heart Valve by Foldax- https://www.apnews.com/bc0c2b46f3134dd2a05a830460a90014
