Patent ID: 8795328

Claim:
A medical device for modifying an atrial appendage, the medical device comprising: a plurality of discrete frame segments coupled with at least one ring member, the at least one ring member having an inner surface defining notches radially spaced therein, each of the plurality of discrete frame segments configured to be positioned within one of the notches of the at least one ring member to collectively form a frame structure, each discrete frame segment including a unitary monolithic structure comprising: a hub portion having an upper surface configured to be captured in one of the notches defined in the at least one ring member; an expanding leg extending from the hub portion; and a collapsing leg extending from the hub portion, the collapsing leg and the expanding leg extending in a common plane and being separately and discretely spaced from each other along respective longitudinal lengths of the expanding leg and the collapsing leg; and a tissue growth member coupled with the plurality of discrete frame segments to define a substantially convex surface and a substantially concave surface.
