German term or phrase: Schirmanteil

Need to verify some of the terminology and last part of sentence if I am understanding correctly
Here is the context: thanks

Die 14F Cookschleuse wird mit der Spitze im rechten Vorhof i.d. Nachbarschaft des flottierenden **Schirmanteils ** platziert, die Schleuse wird geschient durch einen bis in die V. cava superior platzierten langen Draht.

The 14F Cook stent is placed tip first into the right atrium in the vicinity of the floating **sheath** (element), the stent is guided by a long wire up into the cava superior..

English translation:umbrella

Explanation:
Looks like the text is dealing with an umbrella occluder used for the treatment of an atrial septal defect.

In the following text, the terms Schirm, Schirmchen and Schirmanteil seem to be used interchangeably and synonymously:

Anschließend wird das Verschlusssystem (Schirmchen) über die lange Schleuse eingeführt, der linksseitige Anteil des Schirmchens im linken Vorhof entfaltet, das System dann an die Vorhofscheidewand herangezogen und nunmehr der rechtsseitige Schirmanteil aus der Schleuse entlassen. Der Schirm umschließt nun das PFO oder den ASD von beiden Seiten.
