摘要:
An implantable device for occluding a septal defect has interleaved frame sections that allow flexibility to conform to a variety of defect geometries and provide reliable occlusion during endothelialization. Left and right frames connect to opposite ends of a floating connection post. The device is resiliently deformable and is biased into a natural state wherein, in situ in a variety of defect geometries, the device applies a sandwiching force to the tissue surrounding the defect that is relatively uniform across its diameter, improving stability and promoting occlusion.

摘要:
A medical device for treating an LAA is presented. The device includes a cap, a bulb and a joint assembly therebetween. The cap is a three layer mesh structure with a retaining hub securing the layers together. A plurality of proximal wire loops extend from the base layer to a proximal post of the joint assembly. The bulb has a plurality of distal wire loops that extend between a terminal post and a distal post of the joint assembly. The joint assembly comprises a first ball joint, a second ball joint and a housing. Each ball joint is retained in the housing independent ball and socket relationships. Each ball joint and post defines a longitudinal axis. The housing defines a housing longitudinal axis. By way of the ball and socket relationship each ball joint longitudinal axis may form an angle of between about 0 to about 35 degrees with the housing longitudinal axis in any direction.
