  • Patent number: 8771294
    Abstract: An aneurysm treatment device for in situ treatment of aneurysms comprises a collapsible member having a first shape wherein the first shape is an expanded geometric configuration, and a second shape, wherein the second shape is a collapsed configuration that is loadable into a catheter. The aneurysm treatment device is capable or returning to the first shape in the sac of an aneurysm upon deployment, where it occludes the aneurysm. In another embodiment an occlusion device comprises a flexible, longitudinally extending elastomeric matrix member that assumes a non-linear shape to conformally fill a targeted vascular site.

  • Publication number: 20090297582
    Abstract: A device for in situ treatment of vascular or cerebral aneurysms comprises an occlusion device having a flexible, longitudinally extending elastomeric matrix member that assumes a non-linear shape to conformally fill a targeted site. The occlusion device comprises a flexible, longitudinally extending elastomeric matrix member, wherein the device assumes a non-linear shape capable of fully, substantially, or partially conformally filling a targeted vascular site. In one embodiment the vascular occlusion device comprises a first longitudinally extending structural element having a longitudinally extending lumen and an outer surface; a second longitudinally extending structural element extending through the lumen; and an elastomeric matrix member surrounding the outer surface, wherein the second structural member does not engage or attach to the first structural element or the elastomeric matrix.

  • Publication number: 20050165480
    Abstract: A device for treating or preventing a vascular condition at a mammalian vascular site, comprises an implant formed from a compressible, reticulated elastomeric matrix in a shape conducive to delivery through a delivery instrument. One or more implants are delivered in a compressed state to the mammmalian vascular site where each implant recovers substantially to its uncompressed state following deployment from a delivery instrument. In a preferred embodiment the matrix comprises cross-linked polycarbonate polyurethane-urea or cross-linked polycarbonate polyurea-urethane. In another preferred embodiment the matrix comprises a cross-linked polycarbonate polyurethane. In a yet further embodiment, the matrix comprises thermoplastic polycarbonate polyurethane or thermoplastic polycarbonate polyurethane-urea.

  • Publication number: 20040167597
    Abstract: An aneurysm treatment device for in situ treatment of aneurysms comprising a collapsible member having a first shape wherein the first shape is an expanded geometric configuration, and a second shape, wherein the second shape is a collapsed configuration that is loadable into a catheter. The aneurysm treatment device is capable of returning to the first shape in the lumen of an aneurysm. Some aneurysm treatment devices comprise a spreadable portion and a projecting portion integral with the spreadable portion. The spreadable portion is capable of resting against and supporting an inner wall of an aneurysm, the projecting portion is capable of being gripped by a surgeon to facilitate insertion and positioning of the device. Other devices have relatively simple shapes and can be implanted to a site as a plurality. Treatment methods are also disclosed.
