The present invention relates to an occluder device (1) comprising a supporting structure (2) said supporting structure (2) comprising a central portion (201) having a distal end (202) and a proximal end (203); said supporting structure (2) comprising distal branches (204) extending away from said distal end (202) of the central portion (201); said supporting structure (2) comprising proximal branches (205) extending away from said proximal end (203) of the central portion (201); said proximal and distal branches (204, 205) defining elastic hooked struts which are rotatable away from the central portion (201) to anchor a septum (7) of a heart (103); said occluder device (1) further comprising at least one membrane (8); said membrane (8) comprises a membrane body (11) connected to the distal or proximal branches (204; 205); when the branches (204, 205) are in the unfolded or lying position, said membrane (8) has a closed position where the membrane (8) is in a configuration which provides maximum occlusion to the supporting structure (2); wherein said membrane (8) comprises at least one slit (21); which, when actively engaged by an external device (108) the membrane (8) deforms the slit (21) which extends elastically, creating a passage lumen (27) for said external device (108).
