Abstract
Medical devices, systems and methods for occluding a left atrial appendage of a heart. In one embodiment, a medical device system includes a pusher catheter with a medical device coupled adjacent a distal end of the pusher catheter. The medical device includes a primary hub and a secondary hub with a framework extending therebetween, the primary hub including grooves defined therein. The framework is moveable between constricted and expanded positions such that as the framework moves to the constricted position the grooves are configured to align portions of the framework as the secondary hub moves through the bore of the primary hub. In another embodiment, components of the framework may be configured to minimize resistance in the system as the medical device is delivered and moved between the constricted and expanded positions.
