Abstract:
1. A vasoocclusive device that is adapted to be inserted into a portion of a vasculature for occluding a portion of the vasculature for use in interventional therapy and vascular surgery, comprising: a plurality of strands of flexible material including a centrally, axially disposed radiopaque wire, said plurality of strands of flexible material being formed to have a first portion with a first substantially linear configuration, and a second three dimensional substantially cube shaped orthogonal configuration, and a second portion, said second portion having a first substantially linear configuration, and a second elongated configuration including a series of seven helical loops, said series of seven helical loops of said second portion having a free end and an end connected to said first portion, with said series of seven helical loops extending from the second three dimensional substantially cube shaped orthogonal configuration of the first portion in said second elongated configuration, said series of seven helical loops of said second portion being configured to extend inwardly within said first portion to fill and reinforce the three dimensional substantially cube shaped orthogonal configuration of said first portion in said second elongated configuration when the vasoocclusive device is implanted at the site in the vasculature to be treated.
