System and method for occluding a reproductive body lumen

摘要

An occluding system is provided that can include a first occluding device (e.g., secondary occluder) and a second occluding device (e.g., primary occluder). Providing two devices can better promote effective occlusion within the body lumen and facilitate advantageous occlusion stages, such as initial and long-term occlusion stages. In various embodiments, the two occluding devices are in operative communication with one another, such that the second occluding device is adapted to couple with or slide along a tail portion of the first occluding device.

1. A system for occluding a body lumen comprising:
only two occlusion devices, the two occlusion devices including a proximal occlusion device and a distal occlusion device, wherein the distal occlusion device comprises an expandable tubular member and an inner lumen within the expandable tubular member; a flexible and bunchable tail member that extends proximally from the distal occlusion device, and the proximal occlusion device is coupled to the tail member; wherein the distal occlusion device and the proximal occlusion device are coupled together only with the flexible and bunchable tail member extending between the distal occlusion device and the proximal occlusion device.
