Abstract
An occlusion device () includes a compliant balloon () including an inflation port () for filling and unfilling a fluid into and from a balloon chamber (). A distal tip element () and a proximal base element () are disposed at distal and proximal sides (B,A) of the balloon (), respectively. An elongate actuating element () is disposed longitudinally slidable in a balloon lumen () forming a longitudinal passage () from the proximal side (A) to the distal side (B) of the balloon (), connected to the distal tip element (), and longitudinally moveable with respect to the proximal base element () so as to set a distance between the distal tip element (and the proximal base element (). A locking mechanism () is configured to maintain, between the distal tip element () and the proximal base element (), the distance set using the elongate actuating element ().
