Abstract
An occlusion device and catheter delivery system are disclosed. The occlusion device may include an expandable member, an extended arm directly connected to the expandable member and extending distally therefrom, and a distal ball tip on a distal end of the extended arm. The extended arm and distal ball tip can function to steer the catheter delivery system when tracking through a body lumen to reach the target delivery site.
