An occlusion element (1) for closing an unwanted opening in the heart having two occlusion disks (3) formed from a braid of threads (2) is provided, wherein the threads (2) and the braid of these occlusion disks are each held by a sleeve or holder (5) and (6). The two occlusion disks (3) are initially separate and can be connected with their respective holders (5) and (6), which are oriented toward each other for forming the final shape of the occlusion element (1). The holders (5) and (6) form a spacing between the two occlusion disks (3) and a region (4) with reduced radial dimensions relative to the occlusion disks (3), and provide an arrangement where there are no projecting holders for the braid or threads on the outsides or end faces of the occlusion element (1) and the occlusion disks (3).
