The AtriClip FLEX-Mini device features a fully enclosed design with parallel beams that apply constant closing force, thereby ensuring optimal pressure on the atrial tissue.

Its low-profile design does not compromise stability, allowing for better control during surgeries. The ergonomic handle of the device is designed for single-handed placement, making the application process more straightforward for physicians.
