INTERSEPTAL OCCLUDER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016487 titled 'INTERSEPTAL OCCLUDER DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an occluder device comprising a supporting structure with a central portion, distal branches, and proximal branches. The branches have elastic hooked struts that can rotate to anchor a septum of a heart. The occluder device also includes at least one membrane connected to the branches, which can be deformed to create a passage for an external device.

  • The invention is an occluder device used for closing septal defects in the heart.
  • The device includes a supporting structure with a central portion, distal branches, and proximal branches.
  • The distal and proximal branches have elastic hooked struts that can rotate to anchor the device to the septum of the heart.
  • The device also includes at least one membrane connected to the branches.
  • The membrane has a closed position when the branches are unfolded or lying, providing maximum occlusion to the supporting structure.
  • The membrane has at least one slit that can be deformed by an external device, creating a passage for the device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Closing septal defects in the heart, such as atrial septal defects or ventricular septal defects.
  • Minimally invasive heart surgeries.
  • Cardiac catheterization procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods for closing septal defects.
  • Allows for precise and controlled closure of the defect.
  • Reduces the risk of complications associated with open-heart surgery.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Minimally invasive procedure, resulting in shorter recovery time and reduced hospital stay.
  • Precise and controlled closure of the septal defect.
  • Reduced risk of complications compared to open-heart surgery.
  • Potential for improved patient outcomes and quality of life.


Original Abstract Submitted

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 ().
