  • Aneurysm occlusion device containing bioactive and biocompatible copolymer shell and a liquid embolic agent
    Patent number: 8425541
    Abstract: An endovascular device for occluding a vascular aneurysm is disclosed. The device includes a polymeric shell member that, in one embodiment, may be constructed from a bioactive and biocompatible polyurethane-diol-glycosaminoglycan copolymer, and a liquid embolic agent. The copolymer is sufficiently flexible and strong for endovascular delivery into a vascular aneurysm and for use as a polymeric shell for receiving the liquid embolic agent. Upon activation inside of the polymeric shell within the aneurysm, the liquid embolic agent solidifies enabling biological isolation of the aneurysm and improved patient outcomes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2013
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation

  • Aneurysm occlusion device containing bioactive and biocompatible copolymer shell and biocompatible metallic frame member
    Patent number: 8425542
    Abstract: An endovascular device for occluding a vascular aneurysm is disclosed. The device includes a polymeric shell member that, in one embodiment, may be constructed from a bioactive and biocompatible polyurethane-diol-glycosaminoglycan copolymer, and a biocompatible metallic frame member. The copolymer is sufficiently flexible and strong for endovascular delivery into a vascular aneurysm and for use as a polymeric shell for receiving the biocompatible metallic frame member. The biometallic frame member may include one or more components constructed from a NiTi alloy.
