Abstract: A method of manufacturing a medical implant for occluding a left atrial appendage may include cutting an expandable scaffold in a first configuration, wherein the expandable scaffold includes a plurality of struts having ends joined together at intersection points and a plurality of anchor members extending from the plurality of struts such that each anchor member extends from a medial portion of a strut of the plurality of struts, forming the expandable scaffold into a second configuration, wherein forming the expandable scaffold into the second configuration includes bending each anchor member along its bending axis, the bending axis being oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of its respective strut of the plurality of struts, and heat setting the expandable scaffold in the second configuration. The method may include securing an occlusive element to the expandable scaffold.
