A vascular occlusion device for deployment within a lumen of a vessel may include a self-expanding frame configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the self-expanding frame defining a perimeter of an interior space disposed within the self-expanding frame, and an occlusive membrane secured to the self-expanding frame. The occlusive membrane may include a suspended portion disposed within the self-expanding frame and spaced apart from the perimeter of the interior space.

Vascular occlusion device

An occlusive medical device system may include an elongate shaft having a distal strain relief portion and a lumen extending longitudinally through the elongate shaft, the elongate shaft including a plurality of retaining arms extending distally from the distal strain relief portion; an occlusive medical device including a proximal mounting portion fixed to an expandable occlusive element; and a release wire disposed within the lumen of the elongate shaft. The plurality of retaining arms may extend into the proximal mounting portion. The release wire may be configured to engage the plurality of retaining arms in a distal engagement position, thereby urging the plurality of retaining arms radially outward into releasable engagement with the proximal mounting portion. When the release wire is in a proximal released position, the plurality of retaining arms is deflectable radially inward to disengage from the proximal mounting portion.

Occlusive medical device system

A catheter hemostasis valve hub for a catheter or introducer sheath has a generally tubular shell with a first region and a second region having a greater thickness than the first region, a pre-slit hemostasis seal within the shell, and an end cap to retain the hemostasis seal within the shell having a web section. The hub is easily cut or slit after introduction of the catheter without prior breaking.
