Various features are described that are adapted to improve performance of interference-relief type delivery systems. A delivery system provided herein comprises an implant comprising a socket at a proximal end of the implant; an elongate sleeve having (i) a proximal section, (ii) a distal section slidably disposed within the socket, and (iii) a window between the proximal section and the distal section, the window extending through a wall of the sleeve; and a core member having a proximal portion slidably received within the proximal section of the sleeve and a distal portion extending through the window to a space outside the sleeve and within the socket. The distal portion of the core member provides an interference fit with the distal section of the sleeve within the socket until the core member is withdrawn.
An implant for occluding a target area of a patient's vasculature, comprising:
An implant for occluding a target area of a patient's vasculature, the implant comprising a shell comprising globular first and second braid layers, a hub, and a braided band interposed between the first and second braid layers, the hub being coupled to an end portion of the implant thereby gathering and securing the first and second braid layers thereat, the braided band extending about a circumference of the implant and positioned in a space between the hub and a longitudinal midsection of the shell, the braided band decreasing a porosity of the implant, the shell being expandable from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration, wherein the braided band has a proximal end that is not secured within the hub and a distal end that terminates at a position proximal to a distal end of the shell.
