| 20090297582 | VASCULAR OCCLUSION DEVICES AND METHODS - 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. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090318892 | Removable Core Implant Delivery Catheter - A microcatheter comprising a sleeve and removable core with an atraumatic tip that allows delivery and navigation of the catheter to a site in remote small diameter vasculature over a guidewire. The core is removed upon achieving desired vascular access, leaving the sleeve in place for delivery of various therapeutic implants or systems. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20110144669 | ANEURYSM COVER DEVICE FOR EMBOLIC DELIVERY AND RETENTION - An implant for treating brain aneurysms, especially terminal aneurysms, comprises a neck cover and elongate shaft removably secured to an embolic delivery catheter. As such, the shaft aids in directing and placing the cover at the aneurysm neck, protecting the delivery catheter from adhesion with the embolic material, and securing the cover in place with connection or adhesion of the shaft to the embolic material delivered through the catheter. The implant can be anchored at the aneurysm either by interface and/or adhesion of the shaft or shaft and cover with the resident embolic materials. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20090264978 | Friction-Release Distal Latch Implant Delivery System and Components - Provided herein are systems, devices and methods for the delivery of medical implants. A distal end portion of the implant is coupled with a delivery device by surface friction between the implant and an underlying surface such that the distal end portion is frictionally locked and maintained in the appropriate position and state prior to delivery. When positioned within the patient at the proper location, the state of frictional lock can be released to free the distal end portion of the implant from the delivery device. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090287292 | Braid Implant Delivery Systems - Embolic implants delivery systems and methods of manufacture and delivery are disclosed. The devices can be used for aneurysm and/or fistula treatment. The designs offer low profile compressibility for delivery to neurovasculature, while maintaining advantageous delivery and implant detachment control features. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090287294 | Braid-Ball Embolic Devices - Embolic implants, delivery systems and methods of manufacture and delivery are disclosed. The devices can be used for aneurysm treatment and/or parent vessel occlusion. Implant designs offer low profile compressibility for delivery to neurovasculature, while maintaining other necessary features such as density for occlusion purposes and desirable radial strength characteristics. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090318941 | Self-Expandable Endovascular Device For Aneurysm Occlusion - The self-expandable endovascular apparatus for aneurysm occlusion of the invention comprises a deformable shape memory frame with at least a partial segment covering comprised of a matrix implant material. The device can be folded and/or stretched to adopt a narrow profile for loading into a coaxial delivery device and expands in place as it adopts its original shape on release from the device into an aneurysm. A method of treating an aneurysm, comprises the steps of: (a) providing the self-expandable endovascular apparatus inserted into a lumen of a delivery device comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end having a distal tip; (b) advancing the distal tip of the delivery device into an opening in an aneurysm having an interior sac; (c) advancing the apparatus through the lumen into the opening; and (d) withdrawing the delivery device, whereby the apparatus expands into the sac and covers the opening. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090319023 | Stents and Stent Grafts - The subjected devices include a stent, a graft and a means for attaching the graft to the stent. One or more members are received in a permanent or temporary receptacle within the stent attach the graft to the stent. In one variation, an interference fit is employed; in another, the graft is bonded to a stent-captured member(s). | 12-24-2009 |
