Abstract:
1. An embolic device that is adapted to occlude an aneurysm, comprising: a braid body having a distal end region and a proximal end region, the braid body having a fold in the distal end region that forms an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the outer layer is biased to transition from a compressed shape that is adapted for delivery through a catheter, to an expanded shape, the expanded shape of the outer layer converging towards the distal end region such that it is dome-shaped and converging towards the proximal end region of the braid body such that it is flared, wherein the inner layer is biased to transition from a compressed shape that is adapted for delivery through a catheter, to an expanded shape that defines an open, rounded volume, and wherein a distance between the inner layer and the outer layer is substantially constant between the distal end region and the proximal end region of the inner layer, the inner and outer layers being coupled together at a hub in the proximal end region of the braid body, the hub having an open access port.
