A deflectable catheter including an outer member having a proximal portion and a distal portion, an elongated column member extending distally from the outer member and an inner member positioned coaxial with the outer member and attached to the column member. The inner member extends distally of the outer member and has a distal tip portion. A reinforcement member is positioned over the column member to restrict axial movement of the column member such that when one of the inner member or outer member is moved with respect to the other, axial compression of the column member is restricted by the reinforcement member causing the distal tip portion of the inner member to deflect laterally.

Coaxial bi-directional catheter

A system including an outer member, an elongated column member extending distally from the outer member and an inner member positioned coaxial with the outer member and attached to the column member. The inner member extends distally of the outer member and has a distal portion. The catheter is positioned within an outer catheter, such as an aspiration catheter, which provides a reinforcement member over the column member to restrict movement of the column member such that when one of the inner member or outer member is moved with respect to the other, axial compression of the column member is restricted by the inner wall of the outer catheter causing the distal portion of the inner member to deflect laterally to thereby redirect the outer catheter.

Devices for steering catheters

A packaging for an implant to hold the implant in a first condition. The packaging including a first packaging tube and a container, wherein the implant is movable from the container into the first tube and maintained within the first tube in a second condition, the implant having a first transverse dimension in the first condition and a second transverse dimension in the second condition, the second transverse dimension being less than the first transverse dimension.

Packaging for surgical implant

A vascular graft configured for occluding a vasculature of a patient including a biocompatible polymeric textile structure formed of a plurality of filaments spaced to enable blood flow through spaces between the filaments. The textile structure forms a tubular body having a first longitudinally extending opening. An inner element has a proximal end and a distal end, the inner element composed of an open pitched metal coil having a second longitudinally extending opening and is positioned within the longitudinally extending opening of the textile structure.

Vascular implant

A deflectable endoscope including an imaging structure, an outer member having a proximal portion and a distal portion, an elongated column member extending distally from the outer member and an inner member positioned coaxial with the outer member and attached to the column member. The inner member extends distally of the outer member and has a distal tip portion. A reinforcement member is positioned over the column member to restrict axial movement of the column member such that when one of the inner member or outer member is moved with respect to the other, axial compression of the column member is restricted by the reinforcement member causing the distal tip portion of the inner member to deflect laterally.

Coaxial micro-endoscope

A device for occluding a vasculature of a patient including a micrograft having an absorbent polymeric structure with a lumen of transporting blood. The micrograft has a series of peaks and valleys formed by crimping. The occluding device is sufficiently small and flexible to be tracked on a guidewire and/or pushed through a microcatheter to a site within the vasculature of the patient. Delivery systems for delivering the micrografts are also disclosed.

Micrograft for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and method for use

A system for delivering a vascular implant into a body lumen including a vascular implant having a first engagement portion at a proximal portion and an elongated delivery member having a second engagement portion at a distal portion releasably engageable with the first engagement portion. An elongated member extends through the delivery member wherein in the extended position the elongated member extends into at least a portion of the implant to prevent release of the implant from the delivery member and in the retracted position the elongated member enables release of the implant from the delivery member.

Delivery system for micrograft for treating intracranial aneurysms

A vascular implant configured for occluding a vasculature of a patient having a biocompatible polymeric structure formed of a plurality of filaments spaced to maintain surface porosity and an inner radiopaque coil positioned within the longitudinally extending opening of the polymeric structure and attached to the polymeric structure. The polymeric structure and radiopaque coil are attached forming a joint at the distal end.
