Patent number: 11707281Abstract: The present invention provides for implant device delivery apparatuses and related methods of use. The delivery systems of the present invention incorporate a stretch resistant tube that advantageously makes the implant device, such as an embolic coil, stretch resistant while a delivery system is being used to position the implant device at a desired target site.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Fitz, Joseph Gulachenski

Publication number: 20220265277Abstract: A system for delivering an implant within a patient is disclosed. The activation of the heater coil causes the degradation, melting or reduction of a component that brings the heater coil into or out of electrical contact with another component, or causes the individual loops of the coil to contact each other, thereby resulting a notable change in resistance in the circuit supplying the heater coil with electricity. A core wire terminates prior to the distal end of the device, allowing for greater flexibility.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Heath Bowman, Jake Le, Matthew Fitz

Patent number: 10081048Abstract: A complex coil and a fixture for forming same configured such that loops are formed having various configurations relative to each other. The configurations provide improved thrombus formation and reduced rotation or tumbling once implanted. The complex coil is formed of a material that may deformed for purposes of placing the complex coil into a catheter and returns to a complex shape that includes said loops once deployed.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Richard Monetti, George Martinez, Matthew Fitz, Damian Jonathan Perez

Patent number: 10058330Abstract: One embodiment according to the present invention includes an occlusion device in which the support structure or frame expands circumferentially within the lumen to secure an expansile plug or embolic material. Once in place, the expansile plug or embolic material expands, thereby occluding the target lumen. Another embodiment according to the present invention includes a radially expandable support structure having a closed portion for capturing subsequently delivered embolic material, such as embolic coils. For example, the structure may have a closed portion at its distal end or at its middle (forming an hourglass shape). Additionally, the closed portion may be formed from the support structure itself or from a discrete, second layer that is attached within the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Fitz, Tai D.
