SLEEVES FOR EXPANDABLE MEDICAL DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant (104). The implant (104) is surrounded and constrained by one or more constraining sleeves (106). The sleeves can be formed from a sheet of material with openings extending from one edge of the sheet to another and a releasable coupling member such as a woven fibre stitched through the openings, securing the edges and forming a tube. One or more of these sleeves comprise an end profile with a desired shape.
