Claims20
An occlusion device for implantation into a body lumen or aneurysm comprising:
- a continuous mesh structure, wherein the continuous mesh structure comprises a plurality of axial mesh carriages configured end to end, wherein the continuous mesh structure is compressible;
- and
- a plurality of markers encircling the continuous mesh structure at a plurality of pinch points in the continuous mesh structure,
- wherein each end of each axial mesh carriage is (i) at a respective pinch point of the plurality of pinch points in the continuous mesh structure and (ii) encircled by a respective marker of the plurality of markers, and
- wherein the continuous mesh structure comprises a plurality of strands that each continuously extend across all of the plurality of axial mesh carriages.
A system for delivering an occlusion device to a body lumen or aneurysm, comprising:
- an occlusion device comprising:
- a continuous mesh structure, wherein the continuous mesh structure comprises a plurality of axial mesh carriages configured end to end, wherein the continuous mesh structure is compressible;
- and
- a plurality of markers encircling the continuous mesh structure at a plurality of pinch points in the continuous mesh structure,
- wherein each end of each axial mesh carriage is (i) at a respective pinch point of the plurality of pinch points in the continuous mesh structure and (ii) encircled by a respective marker of the plurality of markers, and
- wherein the continuous mesh structure comprises a plurality of strands that each continuously extend across all of the plurality of axial mesh carriages;
- and
- a delivery system that is configured to deliver the occlusion device to the body lumen or aneurysm.
