[0002] In the technical field of left auricle plugging ware, there are various designs and technical solutions for preventing and treating thrombosis related to left auricle. The existing plugging ware generally includes the following types:

[0003] 1. Umbrella-shaped plugging ware: this design is usually composed of a group of expandable umbrella-shaped structures, which is sent into left auricle through catheter and expanded in left auricle to plug its opening. The design of umbrella-shaped plugging ware aims to cover the inner wall of left auricle with umbrella-shaped mesh or membrane to prevent the release of thrombus.

[0004] 2. Ring-shaped plugging ware: ring-shaped plugging ware usually has a circular ring structure, which is plugged at the opening of left auricle through ring-shaped design. This design of plugging ware forms a fixed ring-shaped barrier in left auricle to prevent thrombus from being released from left auricle.

[0005] 3. Balloon plugging ware: balloon plugging ware adopts inflatable balloon structure, which is inflated after being sent into left auricle through catheter to form a balloon to plug left auricle. This design forms a plugging barrier in left auricle by the inflation of air bag.

[0006] These plugging wares in the prior art are mainly made of nickel-titanium alloy or other biocompatible materials, which have certain elasticity and shape memory characteristics, and are used to expand and fix in left auricle. Although these plugging wares have certain effect in plugging left auricle, there are still some deficiencies.

[0007] Many existing plugging wares are not fixed firmly in left auricle, and are prone to positional deviation or falling off. This instability can cause the plugging ware to fail to effectively plug left auricle in actual application, thereby increasing the risk of thrombus escape; the surface treatment and anticoagulation design of the plugging ware are usually insufficient, which can cause blood to coagulate easily on the surface of the plugging ware. This can increase the risk of thrombosis after operation, thereby affecting the safety of patients. INVENTION CONTENTS
