Patent number: 11819215Abstract: In various aspects, the invention relates to an embolic device for treating aneurysms or other vascular disorders that exhibits improved filling and/or neck blockage over conventional devices. As one example, the embolic device can include a structure that is wound into a spiral shape. In some cases, the spirally wound embolic device includes alternating narrow portions and link portions. As another example, the embolic device can be formed from a structure wound to form an infinity shape or, in some cases, multiple infinity shapes. In instances with multiple infinity shapes, the infinity shapes can be arranged either parallel or perpendicular to each other. In certain aspects, the embolic device can include two different embolic devices that are attached by an interconnect element, such that the two devices are attached but have independent freedom of motion when placed within a vascular disorder.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: INCUMEDx Inc.Inventors: Amiel R. Aguilar, Crystal K. Sein-Lwin, Nga Doan, Regina C. Velasco

Patent number: 10098645Abstract: An embolic microcoil can be formed into a complex shape for use in treating aneurysms and other vascular disorders. The microcoil features a distal portion including several loops that together comprise a substantially spherical shape, and an elongated proximal portion that is deployable within the distal portion. The distal portion can create a stable frame with adequate loop coverage across a neck of the aneurysm. The proximal portion can include a series of substantially omega-shaped loops, which can apply a force against the interior of the substantially spherical shaped distal portion, expanding it into apposition with additional portions of the aneurysm wall. Methods of treating vascular disorders and methods of manufacturing certain microcoils are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: INCUMEDx, Inc.Inventors: Be T. Le, Armando Garza, Regina C. Velasco, Amiel R. Aguilar, Berchell J. Yee, Gregory E. Mirigian
