Occlusive medical device with sealing member
An example occlusive implant is disclosed. The example occlusive implant includes an expandable framework configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, an occlusive member disposed along at least a portion of the expandable framework and a sealing member disposed along the occlusive member.
1. An occlusive implant, comprising:
an expandable framework configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the expandable framework extending from a proximal terminal end of the occlusive implant to a distal terminal end of the occlusive implant, wherein a proximal portion of the expandable framework includes the proximal terminal end and a distal portion of the expandable framework includes the distal terminal end;
an occlusive member disposed along at least the proximal portion of the expandable framework,
wherein when deployed in the expanded configuration within a left atrial appendage the occlusive member is configured and adapted to close off the left atrial appendage from a heart and/or a circulatory system; and
at least two sealing members disposed along the occlusive member, the at least two sealing members in contact with and extending radially outward from the occlusive member, the at least two sealing members including a proximal sealing member and a distal sealing member, where the distal sealing member extends radially outward only as far as or less than the proximal sealing member, wherein the distal portion of the expandable framework is devoid of the sealing member.
2. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the occlusive member, the at least two sealing members or both the occlusive member and the at least two sealing members are formed from a fabric.
3. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the at least two sealing members extends circumferentially around an outer surface of the occlusive member.
4. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the at least two sealing members forms a folded portion along an outer surface of the occlusive member.
5. The occlusive implant of claim 4 , wherein the occlusive member includes a woven fiber and wherein the at least two sealing members are formed from the woven fiber of the occlusive member.
6. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the at least two sealing members includes an expandable element disposed along a portion of the at least two sealing members.
7. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the at least two sealing members includes one or more flaps extending radially away from the occlusive member.
8. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the expandable framework includes a plurality of anchor members extending radially outward from the expandable framework.
9. The occlusive implant of claim 8 , wherein the expandable framework and the plurality of anchor members are formed from a unitary tubular member.
10. The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the occlusive member defines at least part of a proximalmost face of the occlusive implant and a majority of the proximalmost face of the occlusive implant is devoid of the at least two sealing members.
11. A medical implant for occluding a left atrial appendage, comprising:
an expandable framework configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the expandable framework extending from a proximal terminal end of the medical implant to a distal terminal end of the medical implant, wherein a proximal portion of the expandable framework includes the proximal terminal end and a distal portion of the expandable framework includes the distal terminal end;
a plurality of anchor members disposed along the expandable framework;
a covering disposed along an outer surface of the expandable framework, wherein when deployed in the expanded configuration within a left atrial appendage the covering is configured and adapted to close off the left atrial appendage from a heart and/or a circulatory system; and
a protrusion portion in contact with and extending radially outward from the covering, wherein the protrusion portion extends over only the proximal portion of the expandable framework, the protrusion portion forming an annular ring defining a proximal outermost circumference of the medical implant adjacent the proximal terminal end, wherein the proximal outermost circumference is equal to or larger than an outermost circumference of any other portion of the medical implant when the expandable framework is in the expanded configuration.
12. The medical implant of claim 11 , wherein the covering is formed from a fabric.
13. The medical implant of claim 11 , wherein the protrusion portion extends circumferentially around an outer surface of the covering.
14. The medical implant of claim 13 , wherein the protrusion portion forms a fold along an outer surface of the covering.
