20080221610 | Small diameter deployment system with improved headpiece - A medical apparatus for placing an embolic coil at a preselected position within a vessel comprising a coil assembly having an embolic coil attached to a cylindrical headpiece having at least one bending point formed by a circumferential groove and a deployment catheter having a distal section for retaining the coil assembly such that, when the deployment catheter is pressurized with a fluid the distal section of the catheter expands radially to release the coil assembly at the preselected position. | 09-11-2008 |
20090138023 | Actuator Handle for Use With Medical Device Deployment Systems - An actuator handle for use with an implantable medical device deployment system. The actuator handle includes a first actuator and a second actuator for manipulating and controlling first and second retaining members of the deployment system to effectuate release of a medical device from the deployment system. | 05-28-2009 |
20090270877 | Detachment Actuator for Use With Medical Device Deployment Systems - A detachment actuator for use with an implantable medical device deployment system that guide and deploys the medical device at a target location within a body vessel. The detachment actuator includes a first portion that is connected the implantable medical device and a second portion that is attached to a control member the controls the release of the medical device, The second portion of the detachment actuator detaches and moves away from the first portion of the detachment actuator to move the control member and release the medical device. | 10-29-2009 |
20090312748 | Rotational detachment mechanism - A handle for use with an implantable medical device deployment system that guides and deploys the medical device at a target location within a body vessel. The handle includes a rotatable member, rotation of which causes movement of a control member of the deployment system in an axial direction. An actuator in a handle may include a threaded portion which has at least two different pitch sizes. | 12-17-2009 |
