The AMA 9-ASD-010 AMPLATZER Septal Occluder is a highly advanced medical device designed for the minimally invasive closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) in the heart. With a diameter of 10mm, this occluder provides a reliable and effective solution for patients with small to moderate-sized ASDs, enhancing cardiac function and improving overall health outcomes.
Key Features
Innovative Design
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder features a unique, double-disc design composed of a self-expanding nitinol wire mesh. This innovative design allows for secure and effective occlusion of the ASD, promoting natural tissue growth over the device and achieving permanent closure of the defect. The discs are connected by a short, waist-like section that conforms to the septal wall, ensuring a stable and snug fit.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder is delivered via a catheter-based minimally invasive procedure, which significantly reduces the need for open-heart surgery. This approach involves threading the device through a catheter inserted into a vein, typically in the groin, and guiding it to the heart. Once in position, the occluder is deployed to close the ASD. This minimally invasive method reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and lowers the risk of complications associated with traditional surgical procedures.
High Biocompatibility
Constructed from nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy known for its excellent biocompatibility and flexibility, the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder is designed to minimize the risk of adverse reactions and ensure long-term compatibility with the body. The device is also coated with a polyester fabric, which promotes tissue ingrowth and enhances the sealing of the defect.
Precision Deployment
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder system includes a delivery sheath and a loading system that allow for precise placement and controlled deployment of the device. This ensures that the occluder can be accurately positioned to cover the ASD completely, reducing the likelihood of residual shunting and other complications.
Clinical Benefits
Effective ASD Closure
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder provides a highly effective solution for closing small to moderate-sized atrial septal defects. By securely sealing the defect, the device helps restore normal blood flow patterns within the heart, reducing the risk of complications such as arrhythmias, stroke, and heart failure.
Improved Quality of Life
Patients who undergo ASD closure with the AMPLATZER device often experience significant improvements in their quality of life. The closure 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.
Reduced Complications
The minimally invasive nature of the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder procedure reduces the risk of complications associated with open-heart surgery, such as infection, excessive bleeding, and prolonged recovery times. The device’s high biocompatibility further minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and ensures long-term success of the ASD closure.
Versatile Applications
Pediatric and Adult Patients
The 10mm size of the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder makes it suitable for a wide range of patients, from children to adults, with small to moderate-sized ASDs. Its design and delivery system allow for flexible and precise placement, accommodating various anatomical considerations.
Diverse Clinical Settings
The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder can be used in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient centers, and specialized cardiac care facilities. Its ease of use and reliable performance make it a valuable tool for cardiologists and interventional cardiologists seeking to provide effective ASD closure for their patients.
The AMA 9-ASD-010 AMPLATZER Septal Occluder 10mm is a state-of-the-art medical device designed to provide a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for the closure of atrial septal defects. Its innovative design, high biocompatibility, and precision deployment system ensure successful and lasting defect closure, improving cardiac function and enhancing the quality of life for patients. By reducing the need for open-heart surgery and minimizing the risk of complications, the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder represents a significant advancement in the treatment of ASDs, offering hope and improved outcomes for patients of all ages.
