Claim Text:
1. A collapsible medical device comprising a longitudinal assembly of at least two selected discrete interconnectable components, configured for manual assembly and disassembly, at least one component comprising at least one layer of a plurality of metal strands woven into a tubular woven metal fabric having a proximal end and a distal end, at least one end having a securement device for securing at least one end attached to said tubular woven metal fabric, thereby gathering said strands and inhibiting unraveling of the strands, said tubular woven metal fabric having an expanded preset configuration shaped as a component of a device selected from the group consisting of occlusion devices, filters, shunts and flow restrictors, said expanded preset configuration being deformable to a lesser cross-sectional dimension for delivery through a channel in a patient's body, the woven metal fabric having a memory property whereby the collapsible medical device tends to return to said expanded preset configuration when unconstrained, wherein each interconnectable component includes a connector at each end of the respective interconnectable component configured to couple another connector or a delivery system to each respective end of the respective component, and wherein each connector of an interconnectable component on both ends of the component has the same configuration.
