Patent number: 11786253Abstract: A system for treatment of an aneurysm includes an intrasaccular device that can be delivered using a catheter. The device can include at least one expandable structure adapted to transition from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration when released into the aneurysm. The expandable structure can have a specific shape or porosity. Multiple expandable structures can also be used, in which case each of the expandable structures can have a unique shape or porosity profile. The morphology of the aneurysm and orientation of any connecting arteries can determine the type, size, shape, number, and porosity profile of the expandable structure used in treating the aneurysm.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Vincent Divino, Earl Frederick Bardsley, Richard Rhee, Madhur Arunrao Kadam, Julie Kulak

Patent number: 11389309Abstract: An aneurysm embolization device can include a body having a single, continuous piece of material that is shape set into a plurality of distinct structural components. For example, the device can have an expandable component and an atraumatic tip portion extending therefrom. Further, the tip portion can be configured to enable the device to be implanted within the aneurysm while tending to mitigate risk of puncturing the aneurysm dome or otherwise assist in framing the aneurysm in advance of placement of additional embolic material.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Teresa Ruvalcaba, Earl Frederick Bardsley, Richard Rhee
