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.

Medical implant, a kit and a method of manufacturing a 3D fabric of strands for forming a medical implant

An medical implantable occlusion device () is disclosed having a collapsed state and an expanded state and comprising a braiding () of at least one thread, and a distal end () comprised of said braiding. The distal end comprises loops () formed by loop strands () of the at least one thread, wherein, at least in said expanded state, each loop strand has a curved shape and extends away from a center point () of the distal end, whereby an apex point () of each of the loop strands corresponds to the turning point of the curved shape and to the point of each of the loop strands being arranged closest to the center point. At least one of the loop strands is displaced from the center point by a center distance (), and the apex point lie at a distance from a periphery () of the distal end.
