Abstract:
1. A stretch resistant therapeutic device for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature from an elongated pusher member, comprising: 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 first loop of fiber attached to the proximal end of the coil by adhesive; 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 second loop of fiber connected to the second end of said stretch resistant member, and a third loop of fiber configured to connect the first and second loops of fiber to the elongated pusher member, said second loop of fiber and said third loop of fiber being severable to release said vasoocclusive coil.
