Braid Ball Embolic Device Features
Embolic implants and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The implants may be used for occluding blood flow at endovascular sites. One use is in intracranial aneurysm emolization/occlusion and another in parent vessel occlusion (PVO) or sacrifice. Various features provide for improved use (e.g., regarding delivery, recapture, visualization and/or occlusion) and manufacturability.
1 . An detachable implant pusher system comprising an implant including a proximal port section, an elongate pusher sleeve, a plurality of elongate members received within a lumen of the sleeve, wherein the sleeve is locked to the implant through interference with a distal surface of the port section until the at least one of the plurality of elongate members is drawn into the sleeve, the improvement comprising:
not all of the plurality of elongate members exiting at proximal and distal ends of the pusher sleeve and received through the implant port.
2 . An detachable implant pusher system comprising:
an implant including a proximal port section;
an elongate pusher sleeve;
an elongate member received within a lumen of the sleeve, exiting at proximal and distal ends of the sleeve;
the elongate member and the distal end of the sleeve received through the implant port section,
wherein the sleeve is adapted to lock to the implant, through interference with a distal surface of the port section, until the elongate member is displaced.
3 . An detachable implant pusher system comprising an implant including a proximal port section, an elongate pusher sleeve, at least one elongate member received within a lumen of the sleeve, exiting at proximal and distal ends and received through the implant port, wherein the sleeve is adapted to lock to the implant, through interference with a distal surface of the port section, until the at least one elongate member is drawn into the sleeve, the improvement comprising:
the proximal port configured as a socket.
