FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: what is described is an umbrella device (occluder) with a modified coating layer for the left atrial appendage occlusion. The umbrella device (occluder) with the modified coating layer is made from a titanium nickelide alloy. It has the coating modified layer having a thickness of 80-95 nm which consists of at least two sub-layers: an external sub-layer having a thickness of 20-25 nm contains oxygen, carbon, silicone and titanium in the following ratio, at %: oxygen 25-65, carbon 1-5, silicone 1-10, titanium - the rest; an intermediate sub-layer having a thickness of 60-70 nm contains oxygen, carbon, silicone, titanium and nickel in the following ratio, at %: oxygen 5-30, carbon 1-5, silicone 10-30, nickel 1-50, titanium - the rest, with silicone reaching its maximum concentration at a depth of 30-35 nm from the surface. The modified coating layer of the umbrella device (occluder) has no evident interface of the sub-layers specific for a deposited layer.

EFFECT: umbrella device with the modified coating layer possesses biocompatibility, corrosive resistance and no toxicity.
