Abstract

Concepts related to embolic delivery, including embolic detachment systems and an embolic pusher retention mechanisms are discussed herein. An occlusive delivery device for embolic delivery can include a delivery pusher, an occlusive device comprising one or more wires and having a collapsed configuration when within a delivery catheter and an expanded configuration when not within the delivery catheter, a connection interface, and a retention structure connected to the connection interface and the occlusive device.

Claims (32)

1. An occlusive delivery device comprising:

a delivery pusher configured to deliver an occlusive device;

the occlusive device comprising one or more wires and having a collapsed configuration when within a delivery catheter and an expanded configuration when not within the delivery catheter, wherein the one or more wires includes a plurality of proximal wire ends;

a connection interface; and

a retention structure connected to the connection interface and the occlusive device, wherein the retention structure comprises a plurality of bands each freely rotatable about the connection interface, and wherein the plurality of proximal wire ends of the occlusive device are each attached to the retention structure.

2. The occlusive delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the occlusive device is an intrasaccular device comprising a mesh of wires.

3. The occlusive delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the connection interface is a ring.

4. The occlusive delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the connection interface has one or more cut-out regions to allow the connection interface to flex.

5. The occlusive delivery device of claim 1 , wherein each band of the plurality of bands includes one or more holes accommodating the one or more wires of the occlusive device.

6. The occlusive delivery device of claim 1 , wherein two wire ends of the plurality of proximal wire ends of the occlusive device are attached to each band of the plurality of bands.

7. The occlusive delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the connection interface is connected to the delivery pusher with a curved arc wire segment.

8. An occlusive delivery device comprising:

a delivery pusher configured to deliver an occlusive device;

the occlusive device comprising one or more wires and having a collapsed configuration when within a delivery catheter and an expanded configuration when not within the delivery catheter, wherein the one or more wires includes a plurality of proximal wire ends;

a connection interface between the delivery pusher and the occlusive device; and

a retention structure connected to the connection interface and the occlusive device, wherein the retention structure comprises a plurality of coils each freely rotatable about the connection interface, and wherein the plurality of proximal wire ends of the occlusive device are each attached to the retention structure.

9. The occlusive delivery device of claim 8 , wherein the occlusive device is an intrasaccular device comprising a mesh of wires.

10. The occlusive delivery device of claim 8 , wherein the connection interface is a ring.

11. The occlusive delivery device of claim 8 , wherein the connection interface has one or more cut-out regions to allow the connection interface to flex.

12. The occlusive delivery device of claim 8 , wherein two wire ends of the plurality of proximal wire ends of the occlusive device are attached to each coil of the plurality of coils.

13. An occlusive delivery device comprising:

a delivery pusher configured to deliver an occlusive device;

the occlusive device comprising one or more wires and having a collapsed configuration when within a delivery catheter and an expanded configuration when not within the delivery catheter, wherein the one or more wires includes a plurality of proximal wire ends;

a connection interface linked to a distal portion of the delivery pusher; and

a retention structure connected to the connection interface and the occlusive device, wherein the retention structure comprises a plurality of bands each freely rotatable about the connection interface, and wherein the plurality of proximal wire ends of the occlusive device are each attached to the retention structure.

14. The occlusive delivery device of claim 13 , wherein the connection interface is a ring.

15. The occlusive delivery device of claim 14 , wherein the ring is attached to the delivery pusher at one or more regions around the ring.

16. The occlusive delivery device of claim 15 , wherein the ring is connected to the delivery pusher with a curved arc wire segment.

17. The occlusive delivery device of claim 13 , wherein the occlusive device is an intrasaccular device comprising a mesh of wires.

18. The occlusive delivery device of claim 13 , wherein the occlusive device is an intrasaccular device for occluding an aneurysm.

19. The occlusive delivery device of claim 13 , wherein the occlusive device is an intrasaccular device for occluding a cerebral aneurysm.

20. The occlusive delivery device of claim 13 , wherein each band of the plurality of bands is attached to at least two wire ends of the plurality of proximal wire ends of the occlusive device.
