  • Patent number: 9005234
    Abstract: A vascular occlusion device for occluding a body cavity includes an elongate member for injecting embolization material into the body cavity and a deflecting device. The deflecting device is disposed around a distal end of the elongate member and is expandable to contact an interior wall of the body cavity in the expanded state. The deflecting device is configured to be deflected by the embolization material to change a shape of the deflecting device in the expanded state. The deflecting device provides a visual and tactile indication of completion of embolization based on the shape of the deflecting device in the expanded state.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120172911
    Abstract: A vascular occlusion device for occluding a body cavity includes an elongate member with a first lumen and a second lumen. An inflatable balloon is disposed about a distal end of the elongate member, and is inflated with inflating fluid introduced into the interior of the balloon by way of the first lumen. The device also includes a pressure regulation system that determines the pressure of embolization material being injected from the second lumen into the body cavity to occlude the body cavity.
