Consistent/atraumatic force is equalized over tissue variations and trabeculation of the LAA. Parallel titanium crossbars apply adequate pressure without crushing or damaging tissue. Low-profile design allows for precise placement at the base of the LAA.
Non-piercing application greatly reduces the risk of tearing and bleeding.
AtriClip devices are available in four sizes, including 35mm, 40mm, 45mm and 50mm.
