Filed:

Jan 20, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/010671

Inventors:

William R. Patterson - Irvine CA, US
Earl Slee - Laguna Niguel CA, US

Assignee:

Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA

International Classification:

A61M 29/00

US Classification:

606200, 606191

Abstract:

A vaso-occlusive device is provided for reducing blood flow in a patient. The device can include a coil, a stretch resistant member, and a plurality of fibers. The coil can define a lumen and be sized for insertion to a point of use in a vascular network of the patient. The stretch resistant member can have a first end fixedly attached to the first end of the coil. Further, the plurality of fibers can be configured with each of the fibers in direct contact with the stretch resistant member.

A61B 6/00

US Classification:

600424, 606200, 604508, 60410302

Abstract:

Methods for restoring blood flow in occluded blood vessels using an apparatus having a self expandable distal segment that is pre-formed to assume a superimposed structure in an unconstrained condition but can be made to take on a volume-reduced form making it possible to introduce it with a microcatheter and a push wire arranged at the proximal end, with the distal segment in its superimposed structure assuming the form of a longitudinally open tube and having a mesh structure of interconnected strings or filaments or struts. In a preferred embodiment, the distal segment has a tapering structure at its proximal end where the strings or filaments or struts converge at a connection point.
