Patent ID: 8029464

Claim:
A stretch resistant therapeutic device for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature, 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 loop attached to the proximal end of the vasoocclusive coil; 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 only at said distal end of said vasoocclusive coil and detachably mountable at the second end to an elongated pusher member, and said vasoocclusive coil being mountable to the elongated pusher member by said loop attached to the proximal end of said vasoocclusive coil, to allow for placement of the vasoocclusive coil within the patient's vasculature.
