POLYMERIC SLOTTED TUBE COILS

摘要

A vaso-occlusive device comprises a flexible tubular structure configured by creating slots on a tubular structure. The slots are configured such that connecting elements are produced between resulting adjacent segments of the slotted tubular structure. The connecting elements are preferably parallel to the opening within the vaso-occlusive tubular structure. The slotted tubular structure design provides flexibility as well as specific tie points for attachment of thrombogenic fibers.
