Nit-Occlud PFO

The nitinol occluder system Nit-Occlud PFO was specially developed to close congenital PFO heart defects (patent foramen ovale, or persistent foramen ovale). Nit-Occlud PFO is knitted from a single Nitinol wire, making protruding fixation-clamps obsolete. Nit-Occlud PFO`s unique single-layer distal disc, reduces the metal used in the left-atrium (LA) by 50%, decreasing the thrombo-embolic risk.

Special design  The occluder consists of a single nitinol wire with a double-layer right atrial disc and a single-layer left atrial disc. By the minimal amount of Nitinol in the LA, the thrombo-embolic risk is being reduced.
Patented single-wire knit  Thanks to the single-wire design, there is no need for the protruding clasps which are usually used. This makes for a very low profile.
Various sizes  The Nit-Occlud® PFO is available in sizes of 20 mm, 26 mm and 30 mm.
Easy to use  The easy-to-use application system was developed specifically for Nit-Occlud® PFO procedures.
