Abstract:
A medical device includes an outer polymeric tubular member and an inner tubular member. The outer polymeric tubular member includes one or more cuts formed therein to increase flexibility of the outer polymeric tubular member and includes an inner surface. The inner tubular member extends through the outer polymeric tubular member and has an outer surface in slidable contact with the inner surface of the outer polymeric tubular member. The outer polymeric tubular member is able to move relative to the inner tubular member as the medical device bends. In an example, the outer tubular member may be formed of a heat shrink material.
Abstract:
A medical device system may include an elongate shaft having a lumen extending from a proximal end of the elongate shaft to a distal end of the elongate shaft, a medical device disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft, a release wire disposed within the lumen of the elongate shaft, wherein the release wire releasably secures the medical device to the distal end of the elongate shaft, a securement member fixedly attached to the proximal end of the elongate shaft and to a proximal end of the release wire, and a microcatheter configured to deliver the medical device to a treatment site, the elongate shaft and the medical device being slidably disposed within a lumen of the microcatheter. A proximal portion of the securement member may be configured to disengage from a distal portion of the securement member.
