Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward medical device deployment apparatuses, systems, and methods. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include at least one constraining fiber configured to form a warp knit surrounding a medical device with a first series of loops forming the warp knit with at least one of the first series of loops including a first portion forming a knot and a second portion arranged in addition to the knot.
Claims9
A medical device deployment apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one constraining fiber defining a warp knit surrounding a medical device, the warp knit being configured to separate and be removed to deploy the medical device;
- and
- wherein the at least one constraining fiber includes a first constraining fiber including a first series of loops and a second constraining fiber including a second series of loops forming the warp knit, wherein a first loop of the first series of loops includes a first portion forming a knit and a second portion arranged in addition to the knit, wherein a second loop of the second series of loops is arranged through the first portion of the first loop of the at least one of the first series of loops and interwoven through the second portion of the first loop of the at least one of the first series of loops.
