Since 1986, NMT Medical, Inc. has worked with physicians to pioneer innovative, catheter-based technology to provide a minimally invasive treatment for a range of cardiac defects, such as Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), Atrial Septal Defects (ASD), and Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD).
BioSTAR® is the world’s first bioabsorbable septal repair implant. 90-95% of the BioSTAR® implant is absorbed and replaced by the patients native tissue providing a natural biological closure of the defect. Learn More

The micro-spring is attached to alternating sides of the umbrella arm tips and provides a self-adjusting positioning mechanism which assists to centrally locate the implant within the defect.
