A vaso-occlusive coil formed of a wire having a primary configuration in a constrained condition. The coil assumes a secondary configuration in a relaxed, unconstrained condition. The secondary configuration comprises a primary portion comprising a plurality of primary loops, including a distal-most primary loop. A distal anchoring loop is connected to the distal end of the distal-most primary loop. The distal anchoring loop has a substantially triangular shape and is much smaller than the distal-most primary loop. The distal anchoring loop prevents herniation of the device during deployment and retention within an anatomical cavity.

Vaso-occlusive devices and methods for making and using same

An implant assembly comprises an elongated pusher member, and an implantable device (e.g., a vaso-occlusive device) mounted to the distal end of the pusher member. The implant assembly further comprises an electrolytically severable joint disposed on the pusher member, wherein the implantable device detaches from the pusher member when the severable joint is severed, and a return electrode carried by the distal end of the pusher member (e.g., a coil disposed about the pusher member) in proximity to, but electrically isolated from, the severable joint. The implant assembly further comprises a terminal carried by the proximal end of the pusher member in electrical communication with the severable joint.

Medical implant detachment systems and methods

A device for delivering an occlusive element includes an elongate sheath. A distal blocking member is located at the distal end of the elongate sheath and includes an aperture therein. An elongate releasing member is disposed within a lumen of the elongate sheath. The elongate releasing member includes a proximal end and a distal end with the distal end terminating in at least one retaining member. The device includes an occlusive element such as, for example, a vaso-occlusive coil that has a securing member located at a proximal end thereof. The securing member of the occlusive element passes through the aperture of the distal blocking member and the at least one retaining member is releasably secured to the securing member.
