Interseptal occluder device

Abstract

The present invention relates to an occluder device () comprising a supporting structure () said supporting structure () comprising a central portion () having a distal end () and a proximal end (); said supporting structure () comprising distal branches () extending away from said distal end () of the central portion (); said supporting structure () comprising proximal branches () extending away from said proximal end () of the central portion (); said proximal and distal branches () defining elastic hooked struts which are rotatable away from the central portion () to anchor a septum () of a heart (); said occluder device () further comprising at least one membrane (); said membrane () comprises a membrane body () connected to the distal or proximal branches (); when the branches () are in the unfolded or lying position, said membrane () has a closed position where the membrane () is in a configuration which provides maximum occlusion to the supporting structure (); wherein said membrane () comprises at least one slit (); which, when actively engaged by an external device () the membrane () deforms the slit () which extends elastically, creating a passage lumen () for said external device ().
