Patent ID: 8480701

Claim:
A device for the implantation of occlusion helixes that can be separated by electrolysis in blood vessels and body cavities, such as aneurysms, said device comprising: an insertion aid; at least one occlusion helix that is distally arranged in relation to the insertion aid, the at least one occlusion helix comprising a longitudinally-oriented lumen; a securing means extending through the lumen to a distal front section of the at least one occlusion helix; and at least one electrolytically corrodible severance element, with at least one stabilization helix being arranged between the at least one electrolytically corrodible severance element and the at least one occlusion helix, the securing means being in electrical communication with the at least one electrolytically corrodible severance element and the at least one stabilization helix; said stabilization helix being connected to the at least one occlusion helix with an electrically isolating adhesion layer such that the at least one occlusion helix is electrically isolated, by the adhesion layer, from the at least one electrolytically corrodible severance element and the at least one stabilization helix, wherein said at least one securing means is connected to the distal front section of the at least one occlusion helix with a distal electrically isolating adhesion layer; wherein a helical distal portion of the at least one stabilization helix axially overlaps at least a portion of the at least one occlusion helix, and a helical proximal portion of the at least one stabilization helix does not axially overlap the at least one occlusion helix.
