  • Patent number: 11439400
    Abstract: Embolic material delivery devices and methods of using them are disclosed. An example embolic material delivery assembly includes an outer member having a lumen extending therein and a distal end region, an inner member disposed within the lumen of the outer member, wherein the inner member includes a first lumen extending therein. The embolic material delivery assembly also includes a first embolic material extending within the first lumen of the inner member, the embolic material having a first distal end region. The embolic material delivery assembly also includes an anchor disposed within the lumen of the outer member, the anchor having a first attachment region. Further, the first distal end region of the first embolic material is coupled to the first attachment region of the anchor.

  • Publication number: 20220133329
    Abstract: A vascular occlusion system may include a microcatheter configured to navigate a vasculature, an elongate shaft slidably disposed within a lumen of the microcatheter, the elongate shaft having a lumen extending from a proximal end of the elongate shaft to a distal end of the elongate shaft, a plurality of occlusive medical devices releasably connected to the elongate shaft, and a release wire slidably disposed within the elongate shaft and at least a portion of each of the plurality of occlusive medical devices. The release wire secures each of the plurality of occlusive medical devices to the distal end of the elongate shaft when the release wire is disposed within at least a portion of each of the plurality of occlusive medical devices.

  • Publication number: 20190358432
    Abstract: A medical device may be a loading tool including a tubular member having a lumen extending therethrough. The tubular member may include a distal portion and a proximal portion. The proximal portion of the tubular member may include a flexible member. The flexible member may be axially and radially adjustable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The distal portion of the tubular member may be configured to engage a valve, and the valve may be in communication with a lumen of an elongated medical device.

  • Publication number: 20170367712
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of delivery systems for precise navigation within and through body passages. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to delivery systems for accurate positioning and release of elements within tortuous, narrow and/or fragile passages. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a delivery system that includes a distal coil with sufficient flexibility to navigate through tortuous body passages, and which allows for controlled stretch when bent.
