Abstract
A medical system may include a left atrial appendage closure device including an expandable framework and a proximal hub centered on a central longitudinal axis of the framework. An insert may be disposed within the proximal hub and include a collar configured to engage the proximal hub, a recess extending into the insert from a proximal end, and a post member disposed within the recess. The post member may be radially spaced apart from the collar and may extend proximally from a distal end of the recess to a proximal surface. The insert may include a first connection structure disposed distal of the proximal surface. The medical system may include a delivery catheter having a second connection structure configured to engage the first connection structure in a delivery configuration. The distal end of the delivery catheter includes a hollow portion configured to receive the post member in the delivery configuration.
