Abstract
An occlusion device that includes an inner embolic element with a proximal section and a distal section, wherein the distal section has a first stiffness and the proximal section has a second stiffness. An expandable mesh is included that is capable of being transformed between a collapsed position and an expanded position, wherein the expandable mesh is disposed over a portion of the proximal section of the inner embolic device and the first stiffness is greater than the second stiffness.
Claims13
An occlusion device comprising:
- an inner embolic element comprising a proximal section and a distal section, wherein the distal section has a first stiffness and the proximal section has a second stiffness;
- an expandable mesh capable of being transformed between a collapsed position and an expanded position, wherein the expandable mesh is disposed over a portion of the proximal section of the inner embolic element,
- wherein the first stiffness is greater than the second stiffness,
- wherein the distal section comprises a framing coil;
- wherein the distal section is configured to frame an aneurysm so the proximal section that includes a mesh can fill in the aneurysm to reach a proper packing density.
