Abstract:
A braid implant delivery and retraction device having a catheter, an expandable element and a delivery wire with distal, pusher, and recapture bumps. The expandable element having compressed, partially delivered, and implanted configurations. Delivering the braid can include engaging the distal bump till the braid is in the partially delivered configuration. If the user needs to recapture the braid, the recapture bump engages the braid proximally. To fully implant the braid, the distal bump is used until the braid is partially delivered and the distal bump disengages, now the pusher bump completes implanting by proximally pushing the braid completely out of the catheter.

Claim (Index 1):
A vascular treatment apparatus, comprising:\n a catheter comprising an inner lumen; an expandable element comprising:\n a proximal end; \n a distal end; \n a braided portion located between the proximal end and the distal end comprising a lumen therebetween; \n a proximal anchor member disposed at the proximal end; \n a distal anchor member disposed at the distal end; \n wherein the expandable element comprises a compressed configuration dimensioned to fit within the inner lumen of the catheter; and \n wherein the expandable element comprises a partially implanted configuration wherein the proximal end is dimensioned to fit within the inner lumen of the catheter and the distal end is dimensioned larger than the catheter; and \n a delivery wire disposed within and extending through the inner lumen and the expandable element, comprising:\n a proximal portion; \n a first intermediate portion located distal the proximal portion; \n a second intermediate portion located distal the first intermediate portion; \n a distal portion located distal the second intermediate portion; \n a pusher bump member located adjacent the proximal portion and the first intermediate portion; \n a recapture bump member located adjacent the first intermediate portion and second intermediate portion; and \n a distal bump member located adjacent the second intermediate portion and the distal portion, \n wherein the expandable element is movable from the compressed configuration to the partially implanted configuration by a distal movement of the delivery wire causing the distal bump member of the delivery wire to engage with the distal anchor member of the expandable element and push the distal anchor member distally, thereby expelling the distal anchor member from the catheter, wherein the delivery wire is movable distally and proximally in relation to the expandable element in the partially implanted configuration, and wherein the expandable element is retractable from the partially implanted configuration by a proximal movement of the delivery wire causing the recapture bump member to engage with the proximal anchor member of the expandable element and push the proximal anchor member proximally, thereby retracting at least a portion of the expandable element into the catheter.
