Abstract: An endoscopic snare net comprises a net engaging a loop, such as by weaving the loop through a mesh of the net, and a tube having a lumen through which the net and loop may be extended and withdrawn by a control wire. The loop has one or more corners or a collared, free-floating slip tether or both thereof, which prevent the net from sliding free of the loop as the loop is retracted into the lumen of the tube, even if the loop is over-extended beyond the end of the tube.

Abstract: An occlusive device can include a braided segment including an open end, a pinched end, and an embolic coil. The tubular braid can include a band positioned approximate the pinched end which can attach the embolic coil to the braided segment. In a deployed configuration, the embolic coil can extend in a distal direction from the band and form a looped shape within an approximately spherical cavity, and the braided segment can extend from the band in a distal direction and include two inversion forming three sections which at least partially overlap each other, with the pinched end affixed to an innermost section, the band affixed to the innermost section, and a middle section between the two inversion positioned within an outermost section and around the innermost section.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various exemplary systems and methods for deploying an implant to a target location of a body vessel. The delivery member can include a tubular body including a lumen and compressed distal portion. The delivery member can include a loop wire with a loop opening positioned approximate the compressed distal portion.

In the predetermined shape, the tubular braid can include a first segment extending from the open end to a first inversion, a second segment extending from the first inversion to a second inversion and forming a bag comprising a semi-frustoconically-shaped portion proximate the first inversion such that the semi-frustoconically-shaped portion defines an inner channel forming an opening to the bag, and a third segment surrounded by the second segment and extending from the second inversion to the pinched end. The system can include a catheter having a lumen therethrough, a distal end, and an outer diameter at the distal end being sized to be inserted into the bag through the opening of the bag.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various exemplary systems, devices, and methods for inhibiting premature implant deployment. The delivery member can include a body including a lumen extending therethrough, the body including a compressed distal portion. The delivery member can include a pull wire extending through the lumen. The pull wire can include a pull wire portion that extends radially to abut a sidewall of the body to provide frictional resistance against the body. The pull wire can be positioned to secure the implantable medical device to the delivery member, and the pull wire portion can be effective to inhibit premature detachment of the implant by inhibiting proximal translation of the pull wire due to the frictional resistance provided by the pull wire portion against the body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a braided implant with a retractable dual proximal layer and methods for administering the braided implant to treat aneurysms. The implant can include a tubular braid that can be set into a predetermined shape, compressed for delivery through a microcatheter, and implanted in at least one implanted position that is based on the predetermined shape and the geometry of the aneurysm in which the braid is implanted. The implant can also have a retractable ball segment at the proximal end of the device made of the same braid that can be heat treated into an ellipsoid shape. The retractable ball segment can be movable from a position outside the aneurysm to a position at least partially enclosed within the implant to increase or decrease the height of the implant relative to the aneurysm or better conform the implant to the neck of the aneurysm.

Abstract: A tubular braided implant is provided including a braid that can be delivered as a single layer braid, invert into itself during deployment to form at least two nested sacks and include additional braid material that can fill the innermost sack. The additional braid material can loop or coil like a ribbon and/or invert to form smaller and smaller nested sacks. The braid can have a variable braid angle along its length such that when positioned for delivery, the can have a high braid angle near its distal end and a low braid angle near the proximal end. In addition, or as a replacement for the braid material that fills the innermost sack, the implant can include an embolic coil that can loop within the innermost sack.
