Figulla® Flex – The new Generation ASD and PFO Occluders 3
Difference Comparison Amplatzer technology tube funnel ball Figulla device® (single-layer) Figulla device® (double-layer) for PFO and ASD
Figulla PFO (flexible)®
Figulla PFO (flexible)® Old technology
Occlutech
PFO flexible PFO standard
Figulla® Flex PFO Simulation of a tunnel shaped PFO defect. 13
Old existing technology
Old technology Distance of layers from hole Figulla ASD Size of hole for 12 mm occluders
Advantage: The new Occlutech connector means is without a traditional stainless steel hub. That means an important minimizing amount of material implanted. 16
Advantage: The new delivery system allows a tilt of up to 45° giving perfect placement prior to release 17
