STARFlex

The original Clamshell device was modified to become the CardioSEAL septal repair implant. This was NMT Medical, Inc. s first attempt at developing an ASD repair device. The STARFlex septal repair implant has been considered to be a third-generation CardioSEAL device. Up until 2009, the CardioSeal device was available commercially both in Europe and the United States, while the STARFlex was commercially available in Europe oniy.36,39,40 2001 the CardioSEAL device was approved by the FDA for...

CardioSEAL /STARFlex devices were composed of MP35N metal, which formed the framework of the square umbrella-shaped disks, connected in the centre. Knitted polyester (Dacron ) fabric was attached to this metal framework (see Fig. 18.9) by means of polyester sutures. MP35N was used in these devices since this alloy is compatible with MRI used to perform the procedure. The CardioSEAL was available in 17, 23, 28, and 33 mm sizes (diagonal diameter), while the STARFlex was... [Pg.470]
