The Evermend™ PDA occluder is a percutaneous, transcatheter device especially designed for closure of normally located PDA. The treatment is feasible in the very young pediatric population.
The occluder is made of a Nitinol wire mesh shaped into a cylindrical plug with a flange to secure the occluder in the right position.
Three pieces of polyester fabric sewn inside help close the hole and provide a foundation for growth of tissue over the occluder after placement.
