| 20080221654 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING A DETACHABLE IMPLANTABLE DEVICE - Disclosed herein are various systems and methods for delivering implantable devices, such as, for example detachable embolic coils. The systems can include an embolic coil mated to a pusher wire via a detachable link comprising first and second engaging members and an expandable member or a sleeve. The expandable member or sleeve can reduce relative movement between the engaging members to inhibit premature detachment and/or jamming of the detachable link as the embolic coil is delivered through a catheter. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090036768 | MEDICAL DEVICES - Medical devices with radiopaque markers, and related systems and methods are disclosed. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090036877 | SPRING DETACH JOINT FOR DELIVERING A DETACHABLE IMPLANTABLE DEVICE - Methods and systems for delivering an implantable device to a target site, using a detachable link. The system can include an embolic coil mated to a delivery wire via a detachable link comprising first and second engaging members. When the detachable link is delivered through a catheter, the first and second engaging members are configured to self-detach. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090043331 | GUIDED DETACHABLE INTERLOCK AND METHOD OF USE - Described herein are various implant delivery methods and systems that include a detachable link for connecting an implantable device and a control wire. The detachable link can include an elongate body comprising a first arm with a mating surface having a slot extending the width of the elongate body and a second arm having a mating surface that includes a extension portion adapted to mate with the slot. A guide member can extend between the first and second arms and inhibit relative transverse and/or rotational movement between the first and second arms. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090099591 | Coil Anchor Systems and Methods of Use - Described herein is a coil anchor having an anchor body configured for placement within a large diameter blood vessel, wherein the anchor body includes a radially expandable sidewall, a proximal opening dimensioned to receive an embolic coil, and a distal opening dimensioned to permit blood flow within the blood vessel. The coil anchor further includes at least one coil retaining element configured to retain the embolic coil within the blood vessel while permitting blood flow within the blood vessel. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090099592 | Detachable Interlock Systems and Methods of Use - Described herein are various implant delivery systems and methods of use. The systems can include an implantable medical device mated to a pusher wire via a detachable link. The user can detach the detachable link by rotating the pusher wire. For example, the detachable link can include first and second interlocking members, where the first interlocking member including a male mating surface and the second interlocking member including a female mating surface. The first and second body members can be mechanically interlocked, for example, with a pin and a slot. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20120095501 | Coil Anchor Systems and Methods of Use - Vessel occlusion method including the steps of positioning a coil anchor in a large diameter blood vessel, wherein the coil anchor includes a radially expandable sidewall, a proximal opening dimensioned to receive an embolic coil, a distal opening, and the coil anchor further comprising at least one coil retaining element configured to retain an embolic coil within the blood vessel. The vessel occlusion method further including the steps of expanding the coil anchor within the blood vessel; and delivering at least one embolic coil into the blood vessel, wherein the retaining element prevents the at least one embolic coil from migrating downstream of the coil anchor. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120215297 | EMBOLIC COILS - Coils, such as embolic coils, and related methods, devices, and compositions, are disclosed. | 08-23-2012 |
