Vascular occluder with crossing frame elements

A vascular occlusion device for use in occluding a body vessel, the device including:

• a first frame element and a second frame element made of a resilient material, wherein the first and second frame elements each have a proximal extremity and a distal extremity opposite the proximal extremity, and wherein the proximal extremities of the first and second annular frames are spaced apart and the distal extremities of the first and second annular frames are spaced apart;
• the first and second frame elements being coupled to one another in a crossing relationship;
• the first and second frame elements extending to a proximal end and a distal end of the device;
• proximal and distal end covers extending across the proximal and distal ends of the device;
• and
• cover support elements that support the proximal and distal end covers;
• the cover support elements being in the form of annular rings and coupled to the first and second frame elements.

• first and second frame elements made of a resilient material, the first and second frame elements being coupled to one another in a crossing relationship at diametrically opposing points;
• the first and second frame elements extending to a proximal end and a distal end of the device;
• proximal and distal end covers extending across the proximal and distal ends of the device;
• and
• cover support elements that support the proximal and distal end covers;
