Advantage: The new Occlutech connector means is without a traditional stainless steel hub. That means an important minimizing amount of material implanted. 2018-04-13 2018-04-13 17
Advantage: The new delivery system allows a tilt of up to 45° giving perfect placement prior to release 2018-04-13 2018-04-13 18
Flex Pusher – the new delivery cable Higher safeness during pushing the Occluder through the sheath. No unintended disconnection. 2018-04-13 2018-04-13 19
