A vascular occlusion device includes a frame (10) having a generally cylindrical body portion (12), first and second end conical portions (14, 16) and first and second extremities (18, 20). Located within the fame (10) is a fibrous barrier (28) which provides rapid occlusion. The extremities (18, 20) are coupled by a coil spring (22) which acts to pull the extremities (18, 22) towards one another and thereby to cause longitudinal contraction an consequential radial expansion of the frame (10). The coil spring (22) ensures rapid and reliable deployment of the occluder in a patient's vessel. The occluder also can be compressed to a narrow diameter for deployment by means of narrow diameter sheaths. |
