Abstract: Vascular occluder and methods for occluding a passage are provided. The vascular occluder comprises an elongated occluder body with an occluding section, and a tension member connected with one end thereof to occluder body. Occluding section forms a tubular bellows-like shaped structure comprising a plurality of bellows sections when in an elastically relaxed configuration, is elastically stretchable longitudinally from the elastically relaxed configuration to a delivery configuration, and elastically compressible longitudinally from the elastically relaxed configuration, by way of applying tension to the tension member, to a fixed deployed configuration.

Abstract: Vascular occluders may comprise containers defining a container space. The container space may receive a vascular occlusion coil. The vascular occlusion coil may have an elastically relaxed configuration comprising a series of arced segments arranged in two or more different orientations. The vascular occlusion coil may comprise a cylindrical spiral body with a core member provided therein. The vascular occlusion coil may transition from a secondary structure to a tertiary structure as it is dispensed into the container space.

Abstract: Vascular implants for vascular occlusion may define an enclosed or contained space. The vascular implant may comprise a porous membrane configured to adsorb and/or hold blood cells to contribute to blood coagulation and/or granulation in the porous membrane during a blood-filling time period.

Abstract: Disclosed are vascular occluder, kit and method of use thereof. The vascular occluder includes an occluder body extending longitudinally between an occluder body distal end and an occluder body proximal end. The occluder body is elastically compressible longitudinally from a preliminary deployed configuration to a compressed deployed configuration. Vascular occluder includes a tension member configured to tether the occluder body proximal end to the occluder body distal end and to tighten therebetween when the occluder body is in the compressed deployed configuration. The occluder body includes a proximal tubular body segment and a distal tubular body segment, and when in the compressed deployed configuration, the proximal tubular body segment is located inside of, and/or provides structural support to, the distal tubular body segment.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus 1000 is disclosed in which a rotary cutter 130 and a blade 250 are used to shear a user's hairs therebetween during a shaving process. Various advancements are disclosed herein, including without limitation accurate positioning of the blade relative to the rotary cutter, pivoting of a refill blade assembly 200 relative to a base portion 100 of the shaving apparatus to which it is coupled, and a connection between the refill blade assembly and the base portion of the shaving apparatus. Furthermore, a method of shaving is also disclosed.
