About Braile
For over four decades, Braile has been a reference in cardiac technology, offering solutions that not only save lives, but also transform the cardiac health scenario in Brazil and beyond our borders.
COMMITTED TO LIFE
A legacy of success in heart surgery
Braile, a reference in medicine, was founded in 1977 by the renowned cardiovascular surgeon PhD Domingo Braile, with its base in the heart of São José do Rio Preto city, in São Paulo state, Brazil. Since then, our journey has been a synonymous of leadership and commitment to the heart’s health.
From the beginning, our objective was clear: to democratize the excellence in cardiac surgery. We innovated with the pioneering creation of biological tissue heart valves and bovine pericardium grafts, marking a revolution in the Brazilian medical scenario. These advances have transformed the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, placing Brazil on the international map as a leader in successful heart surgeries. In fact, Braile is the main choice in the Brazilian Public Health Care System (SUS), reaching great success in heart surgeries.
Furthermore, we are recognized for a wide range of essential medical products for cardiovascular procedures. With a team of more than 500 dedicated professionals, we invest in Research and Development in our excellence centers such as PhD E. J. Zerbini” and the Experimental Surgical Center PhD Lino Braile and PhD Lino Ítalo Braile”. Our departments are celebrated globally for their exceptional contributions to scientific research, leading advances in treating heart diseases and promoting cardiovascular health.
Choose Braile and be part of the constant search for excellence in cardiovascular medicine. Your health is our mission.
