Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical devices and relates to a left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing technology, and in particular to a left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing method and manufacturing system. Background Art
[0002] Atrial fibrillation, short for "atrial fibrillation," is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Blood clots caused by AF are the most common cause of stroke. Currently, the most effective medical treatment for AF is through medication and surgery. Studies have shown that the majority of blood clots in patients with AF develop in the left atrial appendage (LAA). The LAA is a remnant of the primitive left atrium from the embryonic stage. Due to its structural characteristics, the inward movement of the atrial appendage wall hinders blood flow during AF, leading to thrombosis. To prevent thrombosis, most patients take long-term anticoagulant medication to reduce the risk of thrombosis. However, anticoagulants cannot completely prevent LAA thrombosis and carry other risks. Therefore, interventions such as LAA ligation and percutaneous LAA occlusion have been the subject of extensive research both domestically and internationally in recent years. Long-term clinical trials have demonstrated non-inferiority to other interventions. Over the past few decades, domestic and international companies have developed LAA occluders in a variety of shapes and structures, including umbrella-shaped, disc-shaped, and plug-shaped. Some plug-type LAA occluders primarily consist of a metal skeleton and a mesh-like biodegradable membrane. The skeleton is crucial to the device's occlusion effectiveness after deployment. The metal skeleton and its barbed spines ensure the device's securement and support once inserted into the LAA.
[0003] Since the curved surface morphology of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton is very complex, the traditional method is mainly to manufacture it by splicing after separate processing. At the same time, some researchers have also processed multiple metal wires into wires with barbs and then braided them into shape. It is easier to ensure the accuracy of single skeleton processing through separate manufacturing, but the assembly of the skeleton requires connecting multiple parts through screws, welding, bonding, etc. However, the small size of the parts brings greater challenges to processing and assembly, and the reliability during use will also be reduced. The density of the skeleton mesh can be well controlled by weaving metal wires, but the weaving process and overall preparation are relatively complicated. The length of the various metal wires used in the weaving needs to be accurately calculated before weaving, which makes it difficult to meet the demand for personalized size customization.
[0004] As can be seen from the above, the existing LAA occluder frame manufacturing methods of separate processing and splicing and weaving manufacturing methods are unable to achieve the one-piece manufacturing of the LAA occluder frame, which makes the manufacturing process cumbersome, increases the manufacturing difficulty, and has low precision and poor reliability of the finished product. The present invention aims to propose a novel LAA occluder frame manufacturing method to solve the problem that the current LAA occluder frame is difficult to manufacture in one piece.

[0051] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a left atrial appendage occluder skeleton, which can realize the one-piece molding manufacturing of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton, thereby solving the problems of the existing left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing technology, such as complicated manufacturing process, high manufacturing difficulty, low finished product precision and poor reliability.
[0052] Another object of the present invention is to provide a left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing system, which can realize the one-piece molding manufacturing of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton, thereby solving the problems of the existing left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing technology, such as complicated manufacturing process, high manufacturing difficulty, low finished product precision and poor reliability.
[0053] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0054] Example 1
[0055] This embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a left atrial appendage occluder skeleton, which mainly includes the following steps:
[0056] S1. Design and manufacture a mesh skeleton semi-finished product model (without barb structure) and a surface-insulated base 1 according to the outline of the finished mesh skeleton with hooks 9 to be manufactured;
[0057] S2. Design and manufacture a pressing mold, a primary shaping mold, a finished product shaping mold, and an electrospark forming conductive electrode based on the estimated model of the substrate 1 and the mesh skeleton semi-finished product, wherein the cavities of the pressing mold, the primary shaping mold, and the finished product shaping mold are all adapted to the outer contour of the substrate 1, and the processing portion of the electrospark forming conductive electrode is adapted to the outer contour of the substrate 1;
[0058] S3, pressing the original plate 2 into a primary shell 3 having the initial shape of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton by using a pressing mold and a base 1;
[0059] S4, preliminarily shaping the primary shell 3 using the primary shaping mold and the base 1 to form a preliminarily shaped shell;
[0060] S5. Using an electrospark forming conductive electrode, remove excess material from the outer peripheral curved surface of the preliminarily formed shell by electrospark machining, thereby forming a mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 with a barb-shaped portion reserved therefor.
[0061] S6, bending the barb-shaped portion reserved on the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 into barbs 901 to produce a mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 with hooks;
[0062] S7, shaping the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 into a finished product through the finished product shaping mold and the base 1 to produce a hook mesh skeleton finished product 9.
[0063] The above-mentioned left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing method first presses the original plate material 2 into a primary shell 3 with the initial shape of the skeleton through a pressing mold and a base 1, and then performs preliminary shaping of the primary shell 3 through a primary shaping mold to ensure the accuracy of subsequent processing, and then processes a mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 without barbs through an electrospark forming process, and then bends out barbs 901 through a barb bending mechanism, and finally performs final shaping through a finished product shaping mold to obtain a finished product 9 of a mesh skeleton with hooks. The above-mentioned finished product 9 of the mesh skeleton with hooks is generally a mesh skeleton with an open end. During its forming and manufacturing process, the open end is often facing downward, and the end opposite to the opening is facing upward. The "top of the primary shell 3" mentioned below is the end of the finished product 9 of the mesh skeleton with hooks opposite to its opening. The above-mentioned left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing method solves the problem that the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton cannot be manufactured as a whole through the manufacturing method of electrospark forming processing, and at the same time can meet the demand for personalized customization of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton in any shape.
[0064] In this embodiment, step S8 is added after step 7, which is mainly used to clean and decontaminate the finished product 9 of the hook mesh skeleton produced in step 7.
[0065] In this embodiment, the EDM conductive electrode is a contoured electrode designed and manufactured based on the principles of reverse copy machining. The EDM conductive electrode is made of a conductive material, typically graphite, brass, copper, titanium alloy, etc., and the EDM machining polarity is always positive. In actual operation, the EDM conductive electrode's edge detection function uses a voltage short-circuit signal to determine contact, while the EDM conductive electrode's penetration detection function uses voltage and current signals to determine and ensure complete material removal.
[0066] In this embodiment, after the electrospark forming conductive electrode is manufactured, it is further divided into an electrospark forming conductive electrode 1 10 adapted to the top contour of the primary shell 3 and an electrospark forming conductive electrode 2 11 adapted to the side contour of the primary shell 3 according to the specific processing technology. The so-called "processing technology" is, on the one hand, related to the reserved discharge gap (which can be considered as a processing allowance) corresponding to the electrode splitting and processing parameters, that is, whether the split part can be reverse-copied without interference during the movement in space; on the other hand, the splitting needs to consider the processing efficiency and processing quality for optimization. For those skilled in the art, this is a routine operation and will not be described in detail here. Based on the electrospark forming conductive electrode 1 10 and the electrospark forming conductive electrode 2 11 formed after splitting, when preparing the above-mentioned mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 with reserved barb forming parts in step S5, the following steps are specifically included:
[0067] S51, removing excess material from the top curved surface of the primary shell 3 by electrospark machining using an electrospark forming conductive electrode 10, to form a mesh shell semi-finished product 12;
[0068] S52, using the second electrospark forming conductive electrode 11 to perform electrospark machining on a portion of excess material on the side curved surface of the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 to remove the excess material, thereby forming the second mesh shell semi-finished product 14;
[0069] S53, removing all excess material on the side curved surface of the mesh shell semi-finished product 2 14 by reverse-copying through electric spark machining in batches to produce a mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8.
[0070] In this embodiment, substrate 1 is made of, but not limited to, non-conductive ceramic. It can also be any other non-conductive substrate that meets insulation requirements, such as various metals or non-metals coated with a non-conductive coating. In this embodiment, the aforementioned pressing mold comprises an upper pressing mold 5 and a lower pressing mold 4; the primary shaping mold comprises an upper primary shaping mold 7 and a lower primary shaping mold 6; and the finished product shaping mold comprises, arranged from top to bottom, a finished product shaping upper mold 20, a finished product shaping middle mold 21, and a finished product shaping lower mold 22. The original plate 2 is preferably a nickel-titanium memory alloy plate cut and pressed according to the material size required by the primary shell 3; based on this memory alloy material, the preliminary shaping in step S4 and the finished product shaping in step S7 are both memory shaped using heat treatment technology, that is, the primary shell 3 with the initial form of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton is subjected to preliminary heat treatment memory shaping through the lower primary shaping mold 6, the upper primary shaping mold 7 and the base 1, and the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 is heat treated and memory shaped through the finished product shaping upper mold 20, the finished product shaping middle mold 21, the finished product shaping lower mold 22 and the base 1 to form the hook mesh skeleton finished product 9. Since the finished product shaping mold is used for shaping the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17, the finished product shaping mold has a accommodating cavity adapted to the barb 901 structure, such as Figure 12 As shown in the annular boss 2101 and the annular groove 2201, when the finished product shaping middle mold 21 and the finished product shaping lower mold 22 are in the mold closing state, a barb 901 accommodating cavity that is adapted to the shape and size of the barb 901 is formed between the annular boss 2101 of the finished product shaping middle mold 21 and the annular groove 2201 of the finished product shaping lower mold 22, and the annular boss 2101 and the annular groove 2201 cooperate to achieve the finished product shaping of the barb 901.
[0071] The following is an example of a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy plate as the original plate 2 to specifically describe the manufacturing method of the left atrial appendage occluder frame in this embodiment. The actual operation specifically includes the following steps:
[0072] S1: Design the shape of the base 1 and the estimated model of the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 according to the finished product 9 of the mesh skeleton with hooks;
[0073] S2: Based on the expected model of the base 1 and the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8, a lower pressing die 4, an upper pressing die 5, a lower primary shaping die 6, an upper primary shaping die 7, a finished product shaping upper die 20, a finished product shaping middle die 21, and a finished product shaping lower die 22 are designed; at the same time, an EDM conductive electrode is designed based on the reverse copy principle, and the electrode is segmented according to the process requirements of the hook mesh skeleton finished product 9 to obtain an EDM conductive electrode 10 and an EDM conductive electrode 2 11;
[0074] S3: estimating the material dimensions required for manufacturing the primary shell 3 having the initial form of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton based on the estimated model of the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8, and preliminarily cutting and pressing the raw sheet 2; pressing the raw sheet 2 into the primary shell 3 having the initial form of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton using the lower pressing mold 4, the upper pressing mold 5 and the base 1;
[0075] S4: The base body 1 with the primary shell 3 is placed between the lower primary shaping mold 6 and the upper primary shaping mold 7, and hot air is passed through the main air flow channel 701 into the shaping mold to perform preliminary heat treatment memory shaping of the primary shell 3 to obtain a preliminary shaped shell;
[0076] S5: The base body 1 with the preliminary shaped shell is fixed on the lower pressing mold 4 by the magnet 13, and the primary shell 3 with the initial shape of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton, that is, the upper half of the preliminary shaped shell, is subjected to electrospark machining through the electrospark forming conductive electrode 10 installed on the main shaft of the machine tool, and the excess material on the complex curved surface is removed by reverse copying to form a mesh shell semi-finished product 12; then the base body 1 with the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is fixed on the mounting base plate 15, and fastened by the fastening cover 16, and then the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is fixed by the electrospark forming conductive electrode 11. The side portion is subjected to electro-spark machining, and excess material on the curved surface is removed by reverse copying to form a mesh shell semi-finished product 14; the machine tool rotates the turntable to drive the mounting base plate 15 to rotate and switch the machining surface of the mesh shell semi-finished product 12, and repeats the electro-spark machining steps of the side portion of the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 until all excess material on the side portion of the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is removed, and finally a mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 with a barb forming portion is formed; when necessary, the spindle is rotated to switch the machining portion of the electro-spark forming conductive electrode 11 to avoid severe wear of a certain machining portion of the electro-spark forming conductive electrode 11, which may lead to machining failure;
[0077] S6: The barb bending portion reserved on the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 is bent into barbs 901 by the barb bending fixed rod 18 and the bending movable rod 19 of the barb bending mechanism, thereby producing a hooked mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17;
[0078] S7: The base 1 with the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 is mounted on the finished product shaping lower mold 22 through the magnet 13, and then the finished product shaping middle mold 21 and the finished product shaping upper mold 20 are installed in sequence. The positional relationship between the mold blocks is ensured by the positioning pin 23, and the finished product shaping lower mold 22, the finished product shaping middle mold 21 and the finished product shaping upper mold 20 are fixed by the bolt 25 and the nut 24. Finally, hot air is passed into the main air flow channel at the top of the finished product shaping mold to perform finished product heat treatment memory shaping of the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17, thereby obtaining the hook mesh skeleton finished product 9;
[0079] S8: The finished product 9 of the mesh skeleton with hooks is cleaned and decontaminated, thereby completing the manufacturing process of the finished product 9 of the mesh skeleton with hooks.
[0080] From the above, it can be seen that the method for manufacturing the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton proposed in this embodiment is to first press the original plate into a primary shell with the initial shape of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton through an upper pressing mold, a lower pressing mold and a base; then the primary shell is subjected to preliminary heat treatment memory shaping through an upper primary shaping mold, a lower primary shaping mold and a base; thereafter, through an electrospark forming processing method, the excess material on the primary shell after preliminary shaping is removed by repeated reverse copying processing in multiple steps to manufacture a mesh shell semi-finished product with a part to be bent (i.e., a barb forming part); then the barb is bent out by a barb bending mechanism to form a mesh skeleton semi-finished product with hooks; then the mesh skeleton semi-finished product with hooks is subjected to finished heat treatment memory shaping through a finished product shaping upper mold, a finished product shaping middle mold, a finished product shaping lower mold and a base, and finally the manufacture of the finished mesh skeleton with hooks is completed after cleaning. This method for manufacturing the skeleton of the left atrial appendage occluder solves the problem that the existing technology is difficult to realize the one-piece manufacturing of the skeleton of the left atrial appendage occluder, and at the same time realizes the demand for personalized customized manufacturing of various types of left atrial appendage occluder skeletons in arbitrary shapes. In this solution, the precise estimation of raw materials is avoided by pressing the original plate material, the probability of deformation of the primary shell during the processing is reduced by preliminary heat treatment memory shaping to ensure processing accuracy, and the precise one-piece molding preparation of the skeleton of the left atrial appendage occluder is achieved by the electric spark forming processing method. By reserving the barb forming material in the processing stage of the skeleton, the problem of easy cracking, breakage and failure caused by the need to prepare the barbs and various parts of the skeleton in advance and then connect them by welding, gluing or weaving in the traditional method is avoided. Compared with the existing technology, this solution has the following specific features:
[0081] Beneficial effects:
[0082] (1) Preparing the rough shell by pressing the original plate and performing preliminary heat treatment to shape it, i.e., the preliminary shaping of the shell in step S4, can avoid the complicated steps of accurately calculating the raw materials and effectively reduce the probability of deformation of the shell during the processing to ensure the processing accuracy;
[0083] (2) The matrix, pressing mold, shaping mold, forming electrode and electrode segmentation are reversely designed through the finished product of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton, which can better ensure the skeleton processing accuracy and controllability; the non-contact processing method of electrospark forming is used to remove materials, which can realize the one-piece molding manufacturing of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton and achieve precise control of the finished product shape, thereby effectively improving the quality of the finished product of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton. Compared with the skeleton preparation method in the prior art, this solution has higher flexibility and reliability, and can effectively avoid the problems of easy cracking and fatigue fracture failure of the skeleton caused by connection methods such as welding, gluing and weaving, thereby improving the manufacturing accuracy and reliability of the finished product of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton;

[0090] In this embodiment, the barb bending mechanism includes a bending fixed circular rod 18 for being arranged in contact with one side of the barb forming portion and a bending movable circular rod 19 for being arranged in contact with the other side of the barb forming portion. The bending movable circular rod 19 is driven to roll along the circumference of the bending fixed circular rod 18 to bend the barb forming portion into an upwardly curled arc barb 901.

When the finished product shaping middle mold 21 and the finished product shaping lower mold 22 are in the closed mold state, a barb 901 accommodating cavity that is adapted to the shape and size of the barb 901 is formed between the annular boss 2101 of the finished product shaping middle mold 21 and the annular groove 2201 of the finished product shaping lower mold 22, and the annular boss 2101 and the annular groove 2201 cooperate to achieve the finished product shaping of the barb 901.
[0091] In this embodiment, based on the processing requirements of the finished hook mesh frame 9, the EDM conductive electrode is divided into two parts: EDM conductive electrode 1 10 and EDM conductive electrode 2 11. The processing portion of EDM conductive electrode 1 10 is adapted to the top of the finished hook mesh frame 9, i.e., the upper half of the structural contour, and is used to EDM the excess material on the top curved surface of the primary shell 3. The processing portion of EDM conductive electrode 2 11 is adapted to the side wall of the finished hook mesh frame 9, i.e., the lower half of the structural contour, and is used to EDM the excess material on the side curved surface of the primary shell 3. In actual use, EDM conductive electrode 2 11 is used to remove all excess material from the side curved surface of the primary shell 3 in stages until all excess material on the side curved surface of the primary shell 3 is completely removed.
[0092] In this embodiment, a magnet 13 is embedded in the bottom of the base 1. The magnet 13 is used to adsorb and fix the base 1 in the cavity of the pressing mold, the primary shaping mold or the finished product shaping mold.
[0093] The following takes the original plate 2 as a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy plate as an example to specifically describe the working principle and use process of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing system of this embodiment:
[0094] First, the original plate 2 with roughly calculated dimensions is cut, pressed, and laid on the base 1. The dimensions of the original plate 2 should be sufficient to basically completely wrap the base 1.
[0095] Then, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the magnet 13 is installed in the concave hole opened at the bottom of the base 1, and the base 1 after the magnet 13 is installed is placed in the cavity of the lower pressing mold 4. The base 1 is fixed in the cavity of the lower pressing mold 4 by the adsorption effect of the magnet 13 on the metal lower pressing mold 4; then the upper pressing mold 5 is driven to move downward to close the mold with the lower pressing mold 4. During the closing process, the upper pressing mold 5 presses the upper part of the original plate 2 into shape, and the upper pressing mold 5 presses the lower part of the original plate 2 into shape, and finally the primary shell 3 is obtained by pressing.
[0096] Then, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the primary housing 3 remains attached to the base 1 after the pressing phase. The upper and lower primary shaping molds 7 and 6 seal the base 1 encased in the primary housing 3 for heat treatment and memory shaping. Magnets 13 attach the base 1 encased in the primary housing 3 to the lower primary shaping mold 6, preventing it from moving relative to the mold cavity during shaping. The lower primary shaping mold 6 is a magnetically attracted metal mold, so magnets 13 can attract it.
[0097] Then, the primary shell 3 after primary shaping, i.e. the preliminary shaping shell, is subjected to material removal. Figure 8 As shown, the magnet 13 sucks the base 1 with the preliminary shaped shell into the cavity of the pressing die 4 for fixation. The preliminary shaped shell is not removed from the base 1 after the preliminary heat treatment memory shaping stage is completed, and is still sleeved on the base 1. The pressing die 4 is installed on the workbench of the machine tool, and the EDM conductive electrode 10 is installed on the main shaft of the machine tool. The direction of the dotted arrow is the electrode servo feeding direction. The EDM conductive electrode 10 is fed along the dotted arrow direction to remove the excess material on the upper part of the preliminary shaped shell, and finally a mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is made. The dotted structure part is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the EDM conductive electrode 10. The protruding part is used for discharge etching to remove the excess material of the preliminary shaped shell. Then as Figure 9As shown, the base 1 with the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is installed on the mounting base 15, the mounting base 15 is installed on the workbench of the machine tool, the EDM conductive electrode 11 is installed on the spindle of the machine tool, the direction of the dotted arrow is the electrode servo feed direction, the fastening cover 16 has a certain elasticity and is installed on the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 to ensure that the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 and the base 1 do not rotate relative to each other. The EDM conductive electrode 2 11 has multiple sides that can be used for processing. The excess material on the side of the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is removed by repeated EDM processing. In the single-petal processing, the EDM conductive electrode 2 11 is servo-fed along the direction of the dotted arrow to form a mesh shell semi-finished product 2 14. After completing the single-petal processing, the machine tool turntable rotates to drive the mounting base plate 15 to rotate to the next processing position to repeat the single-petal processing. When the processing part of one side of the EDM conductive electrode 2 11 is severely worn, the processing surface of the EDM conductive electrode 2 11 can be switched by rotating the machine tool servo spindle. Finally, all the excess material on the side of the mesh shell semi-finished product 12 is removed, and the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 with barbed bending material reserved is processed.
[0098] Then, if Figure 10 As shown, the dotted box on the left is a partial enlargement of the bending process of a single barb, and the dotted box on the right is the mesh skeleton semi-finished product 8 produced in the previous step, which is sleeved on the base 1. For each barb, after the bending fixed rod 18 is positioned to the specified position, the bending movable rod 19 drives the barb bending material to bend it into an arc-shaped barb 901 along the motion trajectory in the direction of the dotted arrow, until all the barb bending materials are bent to form barbs 901, finally forming a mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 with hooks.
[0099] Then, if Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between the various parts of the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 during the heat treatment memory shaping stage. The dotted box on the left is a partial enlargement of the positional relationship between a single barb 901 and the finished product shaping mold. The magnet 13 sucks the base 1 with the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 onto the finished product shaping lower mold 22. The outer side of the barb 901 of the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product 17 can just be stuck on the annular groove 2201 of the finished product shaping lower mold 22. The finished product shaping middle mold 21 is installed on the finished product. On the finalizing lower mold 22, the inner side of the barb 901 of the semi-finished product 17 of the hook mesh skeleton is just stuck on the annular boss 2101 of the finished product finalizing middle mold 21, that is, the annular boss 2101 and the annular groove 2201 constrain the barb 901 between the two. The finished product finalizing upper mold 20 is installed on the finished product finalizing middle mold 21. The three molds are constrained in position by two positioning pins 23 and fixedly connected by multiple sets of nuts 24 and bolts 25 to ensure that the finished product finalizing process is reliable. After the finished product finalizing is completed, the finished product finalizing upper mold 20, the finished product finalizing middle mold 21 and the finished product finalizing lower mold 22 are removed, and the finished product 9 of the hook mesh skeleton formed after the finalizing of the finished product is removed from the base 1. After cleaning and decontamination, the preparation process of the finished product 9 of the hook mesh skeleton is completed.
[0100] From the above, it can be seen that the structure and use process of the left atrial appendage occluder skeleton manufacturing system proposed in this embodiment have significant improvements: the precise estimation of the raw materials can be avoided by preliminary cutting and pressing the original plate material, and the primary shell pressed by the lower pressing mold and the upper pressing mold is subjected to preliminary heat treatment and shaping by the lower primary shaping mold and the upper primary shaping mold, thereby reducing the probability of deformation of the primary shell during processing to ensure processing accuracy. By using the first and second conductive electrodes formed by electrospark forming, the excess material on the upper half surface and side of the preliminary shaped shell is removed respectively by using the non-contact processing method of electrospark forming processing, and then the barbs are prepared by the bending fixed round rod and the bending movable round rod of the barb bending mechanism to realize the one-piece forming processing of the hook mesh skeleton semi-finished product. The matching use of the above-mentioned molds can accurately control the shape of the one-piece formed left atrial appendage occluder hook mesh skeleton finished product, ensure the quality and accuracy of the left atrial appendage occluder hook mesh skeleton finished product, and can effectively avoid the problems of easy cracking and fatigue fracture failure of the skeleton caused by connection methods such as welding, gluing, and weaving. At the same time, it has better versatility and higher feasibility in meeting different skeleton manufacturing requirements.
