Vaso-occlusive devices with heat secured polymer fiber

摘要

This invention is a surgical device (10). In particular, it is an implant which may be used to occlude vascular lumens, arteries, veins, aneurysms, vascular malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, or other cavities and lumens within a mammalian body. It is typically a substrate coil (11) or braid to which a number of fibers (12) have been secured using heat.
