The LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the exclusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures. Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, with or without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or any other appropriate viewing technology.

The LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable Clip preloaded on a single use delivery system. When closed, the implant applies pressure to ensure exclusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). Once the clip is deployed, it remains as a permanent implant. The implantable clip is available in lengths of 35mm, 40mm, 45mm to accommodate different sizes of LAA. The LAA Selection Guide is a sterile, single use, disposable surgical accessory device to assist the physician in selecting the appropriately sized clip implant for each individual patient.
