Abstract:
1. A stretch resistant therapeutic device for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature from an elongated pusher member, comprising: a pusher member connector fiber forming a first loop of fiber configured to be fixedly attached to an elongated pusher member; a vasoocclusive coil having a proximal end and a distal end, said vasoocclusive coil defining a lumen between said proximal and distal ends, said vasoocclusive coil including a second loop of fiber connected to the proximal end of the coil, said first loop of fiber extending through said second loop of fiber to detachably mount said vasoocclusive coil to the pusher member connector fiber; and a stretch resistant member extending through said lumen of said vasoocclusive coil, said stretch resistant member having first and second ends, said stretch resistant member being fixedly attached at the first end to said vasoocclusive coil, said stretch resistant member including a third loop of fiber connected to the second end of said stretch resistant member, said first loop of fiber extending through said third loop of fiber to detachably mount said stretch resistant member to the pusher member connector fiber to allow for placement of the vasoocclusive coil within the patient's vasculature.
