  • Patent number: 11832805
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of an occlusive medical device including a frame and at least one closure coupled to the frame. The frame includes a distal annular flange having a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface, a proximal annular flange having a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface, and a waist portion extending between and connecting the distal annular flange to the proximal annular flange. The radially inner surface of the distal annular flange, the waist member, and the radially inner surface of the proximal annular flange define an unobstructed passageway through the frame. The at least one closure is configured to close the passageway to: (i) provide an occlusive effect, and (ii) enable subsequent access through the passageway.

  • Publication number: 20220167955
    Abstract: A medical device includes a first end, a second end, and a central segment proximate a middle of the medical device and about which the medical device is symmetrical. The medical device also includes a pair of inner reverse bends spaced from the central segment by a first body plane extending from the central segment to the pair of inner reverse bends in a first longitudinal direction, and a pair of outer reverse bends. The outer reverse bends are spaced from the pair of inner reverse bends by a second body plane extending from the pair of inner reverse bends to the pair of outer reverse bends in a second, opposite longitudinal direction, and the outer reverse bends are spaced from the first and second ends of the medical device by a third body plane extending in the first direction from the outer reverse bends to the first and second ends.
