Devices, systems, and methods for occluding body lumens are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, the present technology includes an embolization device configured to be positioned within a body lumen of a patient. The embolization device can comprise an elongated primary structure formed of a coiled wire, where the primary structure forms a secondary structure when unconstrained in which the primary structure forms an anchor portion and a trailing portion. The anchor portion can be configured to anchor the embolization device at the treatment site, and the trailing portion can be configured to fill space in the body lumen to reduce or block flow into or through the body lumen. The primary structure can have a stiffening feature along at least a portion of the anchor portion.
