Claim 0:
1. An embolic implantation system comprising:
an elongated delivery tube configured to traverse vasculature and comprising a lumen therethrough;
an embolic implantable device comprising a retaining ring;
a flexible loop engaged to the elongated delivery tube and extending through the retaining ring;
an elongated detachment member being slidably disposed within the lumen of the delivery tube and the flexible loop so that the embolic implantable device is thereby engaged to the delivery tube and the elongated detachment member is slidable in a proximal direction to exit the flexible loop so that the flexible loop can exit the retaining ring, the elongated detachment member comprising a distal bump extending therefrom;
a distal obstruction positioned approximate a distal end of the delivery tube and shaped to engage the distal bump to obstruct distal movement of the distal bump when the distal obstruction is engaged to the distal bump;
wherein the distal obstruction comprises the flexible loop and the retaining ring when the embolic implantable device is engaged to the delivery tube; and
an engagement member comprising the flexible loop and a proximal loop positioned within the lumen of the delivery tube approximate the distal end of the delivery tube,
wherein the elongated detachment member further comprises a proximal bump shaped to engage the proximal loop upon proximal movement of the proximal bump into the proximal loop.
