Modern artificial hearts require special blood-compatible lubricants that must work continuously for years inside the human body. These synthetic oils must never cause blood clots, immune reactions, or break down from constant body temperature and motion. Engineers test these lubricants by running mechanical hearts non-stop for over five years in laboratories before human implantation. The lubricant failure rate must be near zero since replacing it requires open-heart surgery.
