Abstract
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.
