The WATCHMAN FLX Implant is a minimally invasive, one-time procedure designed to reduce the risk of strokes that originate in the left atrial appendage
to perform the implant, the physician accesses the patient's femoral vein and, using a standard trans septal access system with a puncture needle, crosses the septum to reach the left side of the heart. Watchman. Flex is designed for precise placement in the left atrial appendage, from wind sock to broccoli. Two chicken wing measurements are taken of the appendage with T e contrast, maybe injected at any time to help visualize the left atrial appendage. At this point, the appropriate size watchman flex is selected. The watchman flex ball is formed. The fully rounded ball is designed to safely advance and maneuver within the left atrial appendage. Watchman Flex has full recapture, reposition and redeploy capabilities for precise placement. Dual row precision anchors designed to provide optimal device engagement with L. A. A tissue for long term stability, reduced metal exposure and long P E T. Fabric designed to reduce healing time and reduce the rhombus formation. Once in place, the device endothelial eyes, is to seal off the patients left atrial appendage, re mhm
