An occlusion device and a production process for it are described. The occlusion device consists of a mesh or braiding of at least one wire or thread wherein the occlusion device has been given a suitable design using a reshaping and/or heat-treatment process, is self-expandable, and is configured for secure anchoring in an atrial appendage of the left or right atrium of a heart. The occlusion device comprises a proximal retention region on a proximal end of the occlusion device a distal retention region and a central region between the proximal retention region and said distal retention region and wherein the occlusion device has a closed distal end without a holder, and wherein the occlusion device is at least partly of essentially spherical form, and hollow.

The disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a medical implant or structures for a medical implant. Disclosed is an improved occluder (), which does not damage the surrounding body tissue. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing aD fabric of strands for forming an occluder is provided. The method comprises intertwining the strands along a length of theD fabric for forming a primaryD fabric structure. The intertwining is non-continuous, i.e. the braiding procedure can be halted, for forming a secondary structure of theD fabric without intertwining.
