German term
Amplatzerschirm
German to English
Medical
I am trying to found out what the "Schirm" part of Amplatzerschirm means. An Amplatzer is an occlusion device that can be inserted with a catheter. I'm not sure if "device" could be used for "Schirm" or not.

Amplatzer occluder / Amplatzer occlusion device
The term "Schirm" would appear to refer to the shape of the device. Schirm can also be translated as shield (cf. Reuter/Reuter, WB Medizin), and again, a shield has a similar shape.
For a relatively generic term, I'd use Amplatzer occluder or Amplatzer occlusion device.

Protective cover of the occlusion device
"Schirm" always makes reference to a protective instrument, also in the sense of "screening" or "warding off".

Protective cover of the occlusion device
"Schirm" always makes reference to a protective instrument, also in the sense of "screening" or "warding off". Strictly speaking, should it not be anti-occlusion device? In this case it could be simply a "stent", which opens like an umbrella, the meaning of which is the German "Schirm".
