Abstract:
A medical device for left atrial appendage closure includes a support frame with a proximal collar and a distal collar, where the support frame is actuatable from a first constrained configuration to a second radially expanded configuration. A membrane is disposed on at least a portion of the support frame, and an engagement element is coupled to the distal end region of the support frame. The engagement element extends distally from the support frame and is configured to engage an inner surface of the left atrial appendage and prevent the support frame from sliding along the inner surface of the left atrial appendage during implantation.
