Abstract
Method for the production of a modeling system (1) for aneurysms involving the steps: Local heating of a first hollow body which is suited for conducting liquid and is comprised, at least in one or more partial areas, of a flexible, thermoplastically deformable material. The local heating is effected on at least one of the partial areas until the thermoplastically deformable material softens. The invention also involves subjecting this first hollow body to the action of pressure that is great enough to cause a deformation at the heated location, whereby the size of the deformation is determined by the duration of the pressure applied and/or by the intensity of the pressure applied.
Claims55
A method for the generation of a modeling system for vascular malformations, comprising:
- a) local heating of a first hollow body which is suited for conducting liquid and consists, at least in one or more partial areas, of a flexible, thermoplastically deformable material, such local heating being effected on at least one of the partial areas until the thermoplastically deformable material softens, and
- b) subjecting the first hollow body to a pressure that is high enough to cause a deformation at the heated location, with the size of the deformation being governed by the duration of the pressure applied and/or by the intensity of the pressure applied.
A modeling system for vascular malformations formed by the method comprising the steps of:
- a) local heating of a first hollow body which is suited for conducting liquid and consists, at least in one or more partial areas, of a flexible, thermoplastically deformable material, such local heating being effected on at least one of the partial areas until the thermoplastically deformable material softens, and
- b) subjecting the first hollow body to a pressure that is high enough to cause a deformation at the heated location, with the size of the deformation being governed by the duration of the pressure applied and/or by the intensity of the pressure applied.
An arrangement comprising a modeling system as well as a pumping system for filling the modeling system with liquid,
- wherein said modeling system for vascular malformations is formed by the method comprising the steps of:
- a) local heating of a first hollow body which is suited for conducting liquid and consists, at least in one or more partial areas, of a flexible, thermoplastically deformable material, such local heating being effected on at least one of the partial areas until the thermoplastically deformable material softens, and
- b) subjecting the first hollow body to a pressure that is high enough to cause a deformation at the heated location, with the size of the deformation being governed by the duration of the pressure applied and/or by the intensity of the pressure applied.
