Abstract:
1. A medical device comprising: at least one layer of fabric defining a proximal end, a distal end, and an expanded volume portion between the proximal and distal ends, wherein the expanded volume portion defines a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends; a first end feature attached to the proximal end of the at least one layer, wherein the first end feature defines opposing ends and further defines a first axis extending between the opposing ends; and a second end feature disposed at the distal end of the at least one layer, wherein the second end feature defines opposing ends and further defines a second axis extending between the opposing ends, wherein the at least one layer is configured to self-expand from a contracted state when constrained within a delivery catheter toward an expanded state when deployed from the delivery catheter for delivery to a target site within the body lumen, and wherein, in the contracted state, each of the first axis and the second axis is substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis and, in the expanded state, at least one of the first axis or the second axis is different from the longitudinal axis and defines a preset angle with the longitudinal axis.
