Patent ductus arteriosus closure with the Amplatzer Piccolo Occluder.
Advancing a proven platform for predictable results.
Reliability by design
- Tightly Woven Single-layer Mesh—Designed to minimize residual shunt immediately after placement
- Engineered for Structure and Strength—Occludes ducts while minimizing into surrounding vasculature
- Intaglio Wire Treatment—Designed to reduce nickel leaching
Smooth delivery in even the most challenging morphologies
- Extremely Low-Profile Delivery—4 F catheter facilitates delivery in small vasculatures
- Procedural Flexibility—Symmetrical design offers procedural flexibility to choose an anterograde (venous) or retrograde (arterial) approach. For infants ≤ 2kg, a venous approach is recommended
- Predictable Placement—Disc size and shape designed for predictable positioning in the duct
