  • Patent number: 11813414
    Abstract: An intravascular device includes an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end, and a plurality of energy transmitting conduits extending within the elongated body. The distal ends of the energy transmitting conduits terminate at different axial locations along the distal end of the elongated body. In one embodiment, the number of energy transmission conduits is only two, such that the number of bends in the compound curve assumed by the distal end of the elongated body is only two, although the number of energy transmission conduits may be any suitable number.

  • Patent number: 11751881
    Abstract: Delivery and detachment system for an implantable intravascular treatment device, the system including an outer delivery tube and a proximal inner tube telescopically slidable within the lumen of the outer delivery tube. The proximal inner tube has a weld window radially inward cutout defined therein along an axial section between the proximal and distal ends. A securement wire disposed axially within the lumen of the proximal inner tube is secured to an inner wall of the lumen of the proximal inner tube via at least one supplemental connection point coinciding with the weld window. Also, the method for making the delivery and detachment system wherein one or more positioning wires threaded through the lumen of the proximal inner tube are manipulated to force the securement wire and the proximal inner tube in direct physical contact with one another along an axial section coinciding with the weld window.
