Abstract
The present disclosure relates to medical devices including occlusion devices, clot retrieval systems, and stents. More particularly, the medical devices described herein measure characteristics for intravascular treatment sites. The medical devices may include pressure sensors and/or length sensors that may be used to determine the effectiveness of the medical devices during or after treatment. These sensors may be particularly helpful when used on an occlusion device or a clot removal device.
Claims20
A medical occlusion device system, comprising:
- a microcoil;
- and,
- a pressure sensor connected to the microcoil.
