Abstract:
A vascular occlusion device includes a braided filament mesh structure defining a longitudinal axis. The mesh structure has a relaxed configuration in which it has an axial array of radially-extending occlusion regions, each of which has a proximal side and a distal side meeting at a peripheral edge, the sides of each occlusion region forming a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis. Each occlusion region is axially separated from the adjacent occlusion region by a reduced-diameter connecting region. The mesh structure is radially compressible to a compressed state in which it is deployed intravascularly to a target site through a catheter. Upon deployment, the device radially expands to a constrained configuration in which the peripheral edges of the occlusion regions engage the vascular wall, and the sides of the occlusion regions form a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis that is smaller than the first angle.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for occluding a bodily lumen, comprising:\n a mesh structure comprising a plurality of braided filaments, the mesh structure defining a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the filaments of the mesh structure being fixed in a proximal hub at the proximal end and in a distal hub at the distal end; wherein the mesh structure is radially compressible from a fully-expanded relaxed configuration to a compressed configuration, and is resiliently expandable from the compressed configuration to a partially-expanded, constrained configuration when deployed in the lumen; wherein the mesh structure in the relaxed configuration includes a plurality of radially extending occlusion regions spaced along the longitudinal axis, each of the occlusion regions having a side defining an angle of 70\u00b0 to 85\u00b0 relative to the longitudinal axis of the structure; and wherein, in the constrained configuration of the mesh structure, each radially extending occlusion region defines two radial traverses of the lumen for each filament, wherein the total number of radial traverses is between 720 and 2000.
