Abstract:
1. A stretch resistant therapeutic device for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature, comprising: a first loop of thermoplastic material configured to be fixedly attached to an elongated pusher member, said first loop of thermoplastic material being severable by heating of said first loop of thermoplastic material; 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 material connected to the proximal end of said vasoocclusive coil, wherein said second loop of material extends through said first loop of thermoplastic material to detachably mount said vasoocclusive coil to said first loop of thermoplastic material; 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, and said stretch resistant member including a third loop of material extending through said first loop of thermoplastic material to detachably mount said stretch resistant member to said first loop of thermoplastic material to allow for placement of the vasoocclusive coil within the patient's vasculature.
