Publication number: 20240032964Abstract: The present disclosure describes delivery cables for delivering a medical device and methods of making and employing the same. In one embodiment, a delivery cable includes a flexible inner core, a proximal outer coil, and a distal outer coil. The proximal outer coil has a first rigidity. The distal outer coil surrounds at least a portion of a distal section of the flexible inner core and has a second rigidity less than the first rigidity thereby, thereby reducing bias placed on the medical device by the delivery cable during deployment of the medical device. Relative dimensions of an outer diameter of the distal outer coil and an inner diameter of a delivery sheath for deploying the delivery cable reduce snaking of the delivery cable within the delivery sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Brian Perszyk, Caytlin Gale

Publication number: 20210145616Abstract: The present disclosure provides collapsible medical devices that are formed from a braided tubular member configured to allow the braided tubular member to be terminated into one or more marker bands while maintaining an open lumen from a proximal end to a distal end. The collapsible medical device including the braided tubular member can be easily pulled down into a delivery sheath or other delivery device so that it is suitable for use with a number of delivery devices. The marker bands, which provide one or more attachment points for a medical device/delivery system, are positioned at one or more locations on the braid such that the braid is fixed and cannot unravel, thus preventing entanglement between individual braid wires and malformation of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2021Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventor: Brian Perszyk
