Abstract

Example occlusive implants are disclosed. An example occlusive implant includes an expandable framework configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, an occlusive member disposed along at least a portion of the expandable framework and a first collar attached to the expandable framework. The occlusive implant also includes a sensor housing coupled to the first collar, the sensor housing having a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a second collar slidably disposed along an outer surface of the sensor housing. Further, the second collar is coupled to the expandable framework via a spring. The occlusive implant also includes a sensor disposed along the second end of the sensor housing.

Claims (18)

1 . An occlusive implant, comprising:

an expandable framework configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration;

an occlusive member disposed along at least a portion of the expandable framework;

a collar attached to the expandable framework;

a first sensor housing and a second sensor housing, the first and second sensor housings coupled to the collar, the first sensor housing having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;

a first sensor disposed in the first sensor housing; and

a second sensor disposed in the second sensor housing.

2 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the collar includes an aperture, and wherein the first sensor housing extends within the aperture of the collar.

3 . The occlusive implant of claim 2 , wherein the collar extends circumferentially around the outer surface of the first sensor housing.

4 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the collar includes an aperture, and wherein the second sensor housing extends within the aperture of the collar.

5 . The occlusive implant of claim 4 , wherein the collar extends circumferentially around the second sensor housing.

6 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the collar and the expandable framework are formed from a monolithic sheet of material.

7 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the expandable framework further includes a plurality of struts attached to the collar.

8 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the expandable framework further includes a plurality of struts attached to the sensor housing.

9 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the collar is configured to remain stationary relative to the first and second sensor housings while the expandable framework shifts between the collapsed configuration and the expanded configuration.

10 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the second sensor is positioned within the expandable framework such that the sensor faces away from the occlusive member.

11 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the occlusive member is attached to the expandable framework and a second portion of the occlusive member is attached to the collar.

12 . The occlusive implant of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor housing is threadedly connected to the second sensor housing.
