LIGHT-ACTIVATED MULTI-POINT DETACHMENT MECHANISM

摘要

Implantable devices, such as vaso-occlusive coils or stents, are described.The devices include multiple detachment points, where each detachment point is activated (e.g., detachment) by application of a different wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light). In this way, the operator can select the desired point of detachment and/or the order in which the device is deployed. Methods of making and using these devices also from an aspect of this invention.
