AMA 9-ASD-006 AMPLATZER Septal Occluder 6mm (x)

This device is specifically designed to offer optimal performance, safety, and ease of use, ensuring effective treatment for patients with small ASDs. By facilitating the correction of these cardiac anomalies, the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder helps improve cardiovascular function and patient quality of life.

Key Features

Precision Engineering
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder 6mm is crafted with a double-disc design composed of a self-expanding nitinol wire mesh. This design provides a secure and effective closure of ASDs, with the device conforming to the natural anatomy of the heart. The central waist of the occluder is specifically sized to fit defects up to 6mm, ensuring a tight seal that promotes endothelialization and permanent closure.

Minimally Invasive Procedure
The deployment of the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder is achieved through a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure. This method involves threading the occluder through a catheter inserted into a vein, typically in the groin, and guiding it to the defect site in the heart. Once in place, the occluder is released to cover the defect. This approach minimizes the need for open-heart surgery, reducing patient recovery time, scarring, and the risk of complications.

High Biocompatibility
Constructed from nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy known for its excellent biocompatibility and elasticity, the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder minimizes the risk of adverse reactions. The device is also coated with a thin layer of polyester fabric, which promotes tissue ingrowth and contributes to the long-term stability and efficacy of the defect closure.

Controlled Deployment
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder system includes a sophisticated delivery sheath and loading system that enable precise placement and controlled deployment of the device. This ensures that the occluder is positioned accurately to fully cover the ASD, reducing the likelihood of residual shunting and other complications. The system is designed to provide ease of use for the clinician, enhancing procedural efficiency and patient safety.

Clinical Benefits

Effective ASD Closure
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder 6mm provides a reliable solution for closing small atrial septal defects. By effectively sealing the defect, the device helps restore normal blood flow within the heart, reducing the risk of complications such as arrhythmias, stroke, and heart failure. The precise fit and secure closure ensure long-term success, contributing to improved cardiac function.

Improved Quality of Life
Patients who undergo ASD closure with the AMPLATZER device often experience significant improvements in their quality of life. The correction of the defect alleviates symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and exercise intolerance, allowing patients to engage in daily activities and physical exercise with greater ease and comfort. This improvement in symptoms leads to enhanced overall well-being and patient satisfaction.

Reduced Surgical Risks
The minimally invasive nature of the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder procedure reduces the risks associated with open-heart surgery, such as infection, excessive bleeding, and extended hospital stays. The device’s biocompatible materials and atraumatic design further minimize the risk of adverse reactions and complications, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for the patient.

Versatile Applications

Pediatric and Adult Patients
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder 6mm is suitable for a wide range of patients, from children to adults, with small ASDs. Its design and delivery system allow for flexible and precise placement, accommodating various anatomical considerations and patient needs. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for cardiologists and interventional cardiologists.

Diverse Clinical Settings
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder can be used in various clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient centers, and specialized cardiac care facilities. Its ease of use and reliable performance make it an essential component of comprehensive cardiac care programs, ensuring consistent and successful outcomes across different patient populations and clinical environments.

The AMA 9-ASD-006 AMPLATZER Septal Occluder 6mm represents a significant advancement in the treatment of atrial septal defects. Its innovative design, high biocompatibility, and minimally invasive deployment ensure effective and safe ASD closure. By choosing the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder, healthcare providers can improve cardiac function, enhance patient quality of life, and reduce the risks associated with traditional surgical procedures. This device is a testament to the progress in medical technology, offering hope and improved outcomes for patients with small ASDs.
