AMPLATZER™ TALISMAN™
PFO OCCLUDER

Effective PFO closure is made easier with the Amplatzer Talisman PFO Occluder.1 For patients who have experienced a PFO-associated stroke, clinical trials have shown that they can benefit from PFO closure.2-4 This minimally-invasive procedure significantly reduces the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke and offers an excellent safety profile.

THE PIONEER 
IN PFO CLOSURE1

As the device that created the category, the Amplatzer™ PFO Occluder has sustained leadership over decades of use by pursuing clinical evidence to become the first device supported by positive PFO trial results.2

Today, it is the most-studied device of its kind, with over 180,000 patients treated worldwide.1 And our clinical evidence is unmatched, thanks to the largest-ever trial for PFO closure, boasting 5,810 patient-years of data.2

Alan Butcher - England

As an employee of the Royal Mail postal service “I’m back on full delivery, walking nearly 12 miles a day. Now it gets to be 8:00 at night, and I’m still bouncing off the walls, full of energy. I feel that I owe everyone who was involved a massive thank you.”
