Abstract
A medical device for sealing a defect in a body includes a wire frame that includes a plurality of wires that form a first occluding member and a second occluding member. In some embodiments, a sealing member is in contact with the wire frame. In some embodiments, the sealing member is configured to define one or more openings in the sealing member.
Claims20
A medical device comprising:
- a plurality of wound wires forming a frame, the frame including:
- a first eyelet,
- a second eyelet,
- a first disc member,
- a second disc member;
- and
- a sealing member in contact with the frame configured to at least partially prevent or relieve a fluid pressure differential between an interior and an exterior of the sealing member, wherein each wire of the plurality of wires and a portion of the sealing member form a respective petal of the first disc member and each wire of the plurality of wires and a portion of the sealing member form a respective petal of the second disc member.
4 more elements
A method of deploying a medical device within a defect of a patient, the method comprising:
- arranging the medical device at the defect, the medical device including a plurality of wound wires forming a frame, the frame including:
- a first eyelet, a second eyelet, a first disc member, a second disc member;
- and a sealing member in contact with the frame configured to at least partially prevent or relieve a fluid pressure differential between an interior and an exterior of the sealing member, wherein each wire of the plurality of wires and a portion of the sealing member form a respective petal of the first disc member and each wire of the plurality of wires and a portion of the sealing member form a respective petal of the second disc member;
- and
- deploying the first occluding member on a first side of the defect, the second occluding member on a second side of the defect-occupying portion within the defect.
2 more elements
