Publication number: 20230039773Abstract: An implant (1) for the treatment of arteriovenous deformities, in particular aneurysms (2). In an expanded state the implant has a basic body (6) comprising of a proximal and a distal segment (7, 8), with the proximal and the distal segment (7, 8) being of dome-shaped configuration, with the convex side of the dome of the proximal segment (7) facing in the proximal direction and the convex side of the dome of the distal segment (8) facing in the distal direction, and wherein the proximal and the distal segment (7, 8) are connected to each other via a plurality of connecting struts (9). Alternatively, the implant (1) may have the shape of a closed tulip blossom. The inventive implant (1) is able to adapt well to the shape of the respective aneurysm (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: femtos GmbHInventors: Hermann MONSTADT, Ralf HANNES, Hans HENKES, Volker TRÖSKEN, Ronald KONTEK, Dennis HERKLOTZ, Dennis GERMEROTH

Publication number: 20220330947Abstract: An implant (1) for the treatment of aneurysms (11), wherein the implant (1) has an elongated configuration navigable via a microcatheter (12) and a secondary configuration which it assumes upon release from the microcatheter (12). The implant (1) forms an open, unrolled structure (2) extending from proximal to distal, said implant being built up of a plurality of struts (3) forming adjacent cells (4), and with at least a part of said cells (4) being provided with membranes (6) filling the cells (4), and with the secondary structure comprising an at least partial rolling up of the open, unrolled structure (2) axially and radially relative to the longitudinal axis of the implant (1) and resulting in the formation of a spherical structure. The implant (1) proposed by the invention is suitable to adapt to the inner wall of an aneurysm (11) and to fill an aneurysm (11) almost completely.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: femtos GmbHInventors: Hans HENKES, Hermann MONSTADT, Ralf HANNES, Volker TRÖSKEN, Cameron MENZIES, Ronald KONTEK

Patent number: 11229439Abstract: The invention relates to an implant for vascular applications that can be transported by means of a catheter and is intended in particular to influence the blood flow in the area of arteriovenous malformations, such as fistulas and aneurysms, to fill the saclike dilation of the malformation, promote thrombus formation and cover the neck of the malformation. The implant according to the invention is provided with an occlusion unit (1, 13) having a three-dimensional shape constructed from several subunits (5a, 14) from a framework of struts (5, 16, 17), with a covering, preferably a membrane (6), being located between struts (5, 16, 17).Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2016Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Femtos GmbHInventors: Hermann Monstadt, Hans Henkes, Ralf Hannes
