A durability testing fixture, system and method for testing a medical device. The testing fixture include a stabilizing member, an inflatable member and a pressure controller. The inflatable member is positioned adjacent the stabilizing member and defines a bore therein, the bore sized to hold the medical device. The inflatable member is configured to receive and release a fluid so that the inflatable member is respectively inflatable and deflatable to radially displace an inner surface of the bore. The pressure controller is coupled to the inflatable member and is configured to control inflation and deflation of the inflatable member to radially displace the inner surface of the bore and to apply a force directly along an outer radially extending surface of the medical device.

Testing fixture, system, and method thereof

Medical devices, systems and methods for occluding a left atrial appendage of a heart with an implantable medical device and three-dimensional imaging. In one embodiment, the imaging is facilitated with a controller coupled to one or more magnetic field generators and a display, the one or more magnetic field generators configured to generate a magnetic field within the anatomy of a patient and the display provides the imaging and display information thereon. The medical system also includes a medical device delivery system for delivering the implantable medical device. The medical device includes one or more magnetic field location sensors therewith that are operatively coupled to the controller. With this arrangement, the sensors are sized and configured to facilitate providing the three-dimensional imaging within the heart that is viewable on the display to assist a physician to safely and effectively implant the medical device.

Sensor enabled left atrial appendage occlusion system for three-dimensional imaging and method thereof

Medical devices, systems and methods for occluding a left atrial appendage of a heart are provided. In one embodiment, the medical device includes an occluder portion and an anchor portion that are pivotably coupled to each other with hinge components. The hinge components each include a base with arms extending from the base such that the arms of each one of the hinge components extend through and capture a first eyelet of the occluder portion and a second eyelet of the anchor portion to facilitate pivotably coupling the anchor portion to the occluder portion.
