The minimally invasive device is designed for transcatheter closure of ostium secundum atrial defects and it can be retrieved and repositioned. The device can close defects ranging from eight to 35 millimetersin diameter.

The occluder was recently granted approval by the FDA for the treatment of ASDs.
