Some aspects of the present disclosure pertain to spherical devices that comprise a wire having a memorized shape comprising a spherical outer wire layer and a spherical inner wire layer disposed within the spherical outer wire layer. Other aspects of the disclosure pertain to methods of forming such devices, mandrels for forming such devices, and methods of using such devices.

Occlusion device having spherical secondary shape and mandrel for forming same

The present disclosure relates to the field of embolic coils. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for actively releasing an embolic coil from a delivery device into a body lumen of a patient. Delivery systems of the present disclosure may allow an embolic coil to be advanced external to the distal end of a delivery catheter without being automatically released, thereby allowing the embolic coil to be repositioned prior to deployment.

Active release of embolic coils

Occlusive plugs are provided which comprise a single elongate member that is insertable into and through a microcatheter and assumes a space-occupying shape when deployed into a vascular structure. The elongate member optionally includes one or more polymer fibers, one or more polymer sleeves to secure the polymer fibers to the elongate member, and/or a radiopaque marker band.

Nitinol occlusion plug

A medical system may include an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate member being movable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, and a first therapeutic agent configured to treat a condition of the lung.
