About Us

Archetype BioMedical, based in London, Ontario, Canada is focused on developing the next generation of cardiac surgical simulators, unparalleled in their sophistication and complexity. Our products span the globe and have reached clients in China, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Great Britain, the United States, and Canada.


In 2017, Archetype BioMedical was awarded a BURST grant to develop and commercialize the workflow for creating dynamic and patient-specific mitral valve simulators. These models continue to pave the way for the next generation of surgeons to better train and prepare for complex mitral valve surgeries.
