Abstract
An occlusion device formed of a microcoil having a three-dimensional relaxed state employing open looped portions interposed between closed loop portions. Planes defined by sequentially formed open looped and closed loop portions are neither coincident nor parallel to one another.
Claims15
An occlusion device comprising:
- a microcoil having a relaxed configuration comprising a plurality of open loop portions interposed between a plurality of closed loop portions;
- said closed loop portions positioned in a spaced-apart orientation relative to each other;
- each open loop portion of the plurality of open loop portions formed of a plurality of waves that are each formed of curved segments alternating in opposite directions and which all define and are formed within a single, common plane;
- and,
- wherein at least one of said plurality of closed loops is directly connected to three of said plurality of open loop portions.

An occlusion device comprising:
- a microcoil having a relaxed configuration comprising a plurality of open loop portions interposed between a plurality of closed loop portions;
- said closed loop portions positioned in a spaced-apart orientation relative to each other;
- each open loop portion of the plurality of open loop portions formed substantially within a different plane relative to one another;
- each open loop portion of the plurality of open loop portions formed of a plurality of waves that alternate in opposite directions to each other and that each substantially lie within a single common plane with each other;
- and,
