A mating interface bridges catheter and embolic device size mismatch to improve push force transfer and positioning in narrow vasculature.
Regional porosity in a frame-and-mesh aneurysm implant restricts neck inflow while promoting endothelialization and vessel wall healing.
A super-elastic helical filter deploys from a thin cannula to capture large emboli and resist axial compression in blood vessels.
A braided distal-proximal occluder conforms to irregular vascular malformations, fills residual volume, and promotes complete blood flow cessation.
A tensioned hook wire adds frictional resistance at the distal tube to stop premature embolic implant detachment in tortuous vessels.
A slackened pull-wire bend around a link-wire loop keeps the implant secured through tortuous vessels until precise release at the target site.
Radial engagement arms and a threaded drive pull left atrial appendage tissue closed to isolate it from blood flow and reduce thrombosis risk.
