Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/038174
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An occluder for occluding a passage in a body, especially in a left atrial appendage (LAA), comprises elongate members (1), each elongate member (1) having a first end and a second end, the first end being held in or attached to a first holder (2) and the second end being held in or attached to a second holder (3), wherein the elongate members (1) extend independently from each other between the first and the second holder (2, 3) and wherein the elongate members (1) are collectively enveloped by at least one jacket (6, 7, 6'). The at least one of the at least one jacket (6, 7, 6') restricts a bending motion of the elongate members (1) when their first ends are approximated to their second ends by moving the two holders relatively to each other. The occluder according to the invention uses the well known expanding structure which can be easily handled whereby the movement of the elongate members is restricted by at least one of the jackets which envelop the elongate members. The elongate members and other parts of the occluder can be made of bioresorbable material.
