Patent ID: 8366734

Claim:
An embolization device for occluding a body vessel defined by a vessel wall, the device comprising: an inflatable balloon comprised of a permeable material, the balloon being configured to have a deflated state and an inflated state and including a proximal portion having an inflation hole formed therethrough leading to a cavity within the balloon; and an inflation member removably attached to the proximal portion of the balloon through the inflation hole, the inflation member having a distal end disposed within the cavity and extending substantially toward a center of the cavity, the inflation member being configured to introduce a solidifiable material in the cavity by way of an inflation port near the distal end of the inflation member, the permeable material being configured to allow inflation of the balloon and a portion of the solidifiable material to pass through the permeable material for contact with the vessel wall, the distal end of the inflation member terminating with a light diffusion member configured to transmit light to the solidifiable material to maintain the balloon in the inflated state and to adhere the balloon to the vessel wall, the inflation port disposed along the inflation member proximal relative to the light diffusion member, the distal end of the inflation member being detachable from the inflation member.
