IMPLANTS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING THE IMPLANTS TO A VASCULAR DISORDER OF A PATIENT

摘要

A device for delivering an implant to a vascular disorder of a patient includes a delivery pusher. A stationary blade may be coupled to the delivery pusher. The stationary blade may include a sharp and stationary cutting component for cutting through a suture coupling the implant to the delivery pusher and for thereby releasing the implant when placed in proximity to the vascular disorder. In some cases, the strength of a junction connecting the suture to the implant is equal to or greater than the tensile strength of the suture itself. Additionally, or alternatively, a detachment handle may be fixedly and permanently attached to the delivery pusher such that a user of the device need not couple the detachment handle to the delivery pusher. The detachment handle may include a user manipulable component for initiating a mechanical release of the implant when placed in proximity to the vascular disorder.

主权项

1. A device for delivering an implant to a vascular disorder of a patient, comprising:
a delivery pusher comprising a proximal shaft and a flexible distal shaft; and a stationary blade coupled to the flexible distal shaft, the stationary blade comprising a sharp and stationary cutting component for cutting through a suture coupling an implant to the delivery pusher and for thereby releasing the implant when placed in proximity to a vascular disorder.
