Coils, such as embolic coils, and related methods, devices, and compositions, are disclosed.

Embolic coils

The present invention includes an introducer sheath. The sheath may comprise a first proximal elongated section having a first outer diameter and a first inner diameter, and a main body elongated section having a second inner diameter and a second outer diameter, wherein the second outer diameter is larger than the first outer diameter. The sheath may further include a distal section having an outer wall that tapers from the second outer diameter of the main body elongated section to a smaller distal outer diameter.

Microcatheter introducer sheath

A device for introducing an embolic coil into a catheter comprises an elongated body defining a longitudinal passage extending therethrough from a first opening at a proximal end thereof to a second opening at a distal end thereof, the elongated body being including a mating portion for conforming to a size and shape of an opening in a hub of a catheter to mate therewith and an embolic coil introducer sheath including a coil receiving lumen extending therethrough, a distal tip of the introducer sheath being dimensioned to be received within a proximal end of the longitudinal passage. Similarly, a method of implanting an embolic coil, comprises inserting a stabilizer into a catheter hub so that a flexible mating portion substantially conforms to a shape of an inner surface of the hub wherein the stabilizer includes a passage extending therethrough from a proximal opening to a distal opening thereof. An introducer sheath including an embolic coil received in a lumen thereof is inserted into the proximal opening of the passage and through the passage to exit the distal opening thereof so that a distal opening of the lumen is positioned substantially adjacent to a proximal opening of a catheter and an embolic coil is advanced out of the distal opening of the lumen into the catheter and deployed in the body through the catheter.

Introducer sheath stabilizer

Coil assemblies and related components and methods are disclosed. The coil assemblies can include two or more embolic coils having one or more different coil parameters.
