Watchman LAA Occluder

The WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device is a proven alternative to long-term OAC therapy for stroke risk reduction in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with WATCHMAN is a proven one-time procedure that reduces the risk of stroke in your non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients and the risk of bleeding that comes with a longterm oral anticoagulant use. The WATCHMAN Device is permanently implanted at or slightly distal to the ostium (opening) of the LAA, which is known to be the source of more than 90% of stroke-causing bloods clots in people with non-valvular AF. Following the procedure, physicians may prescribe an individual post-implant medication considering patient preference, stroke and bleeding risk. Treatment options may include a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or an oral anticoagulation therapy with warfarin or NOAC (non-Vitamin-K oral anticoagulation) along with ASS for at least three months.

Proximal Face
Minimizes surface area facing the left atrium to reduce post-implant thrombus formation. 160 micron membrane (PET) promotes the endothelialization process.

10 Active Fixation Anchors
Designed to engage tissue for stability
  

Intra-LAA Design
Unique intra-LAA design to close the left atrial appendage without compromising surrounding structures such as mitral valve or upper pulmonary vein.

WATCHMAN TruSeal Access System

The WATCHMAN TruSeal Access System is utilized to gain access into the LAA and serves as a guiding catheter for the WATCHMAN delivery system. TruSeal™ offers increased control without compromise thanks to both excellent torquability and kink resistance at the groin together with a high-quality quick closing valve. The sheath is available in three curves:
