Claim:
A septal occluder, comprising: a proximal generally cylindrically shaped anchor member having an axial length and an outer surface for deployment proximate a first end of a septal defect; a distal generally cylindrically shaped anchor member having an axial length and an outer surface for deployment proximate a second end of said septal defect; and a flexible connection layer, having a width and a length, fixedly attached to said proximal anchor member along a proximal attachment line and fixedly attached to said distal anchor member along a distal attachment line, the proximal attachment line extending in an axial direction on the outer surface of the proximal anchor member, the distal attachment line extending in an axial direction on the outer surface of the distal anchor member, and at least one of the distal attachment line and proximal attachment line being along the width of the flexible connection layer; said proximal and distal anchor members and said flexible connection layer comprising one or more bioresorbable materials.
