Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A medical device for blood flow restoration and/or for use as an implantable member in a human vessel includes a self-expanding member, a guidewire, and a connection mechanism. The self-expanding member includes a plurality of cells and filaments having specific ranges of thicknesses, widths, and heights. The self-expanding member can take on a volume-reduced coiled form with overlapped edges, and can generate optimal radial forces against a vessel wall and/or thrombus when deployed and expanded.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A medical device comprising: a guidewire having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end comprising a stem; a connection mechanism comprising (a) the stem, (b) a ball attached directly to the stem, (c) a keyway structure configured to receive the stem and the ball, (d) a sleeve surrounding the keyway structure, the stem, and the ball, and (e) an adhesive between (i) the sleeve and (ii) the stem and the ball, the stem and the ball positioned in the k…
