Some available vasoocclusive devices are not reused during a patient procedure if they are removed during the procedure, due to the inability to reload the device into the microcatheter. It would be desirable to provide a system and method for reusing vasoocclusive devices during a clinical procedure after removal from a microcatheter introducer. The present invention meets these and other needs.
- Briefly, and in general terms, the present invention provides for an introducer sheath for vasoocclusive devices that can be loaded onto a vasoocclusive embolic coil assembly after removal of the vasoocclusive embolic coil assembly from a microcatheter, to permit reuse of the vasoocclusive embolic coil assembly during a clinical procedure and to minimize the loss of an otherwise acceptable vasoocclusive embolic coil product.
- The present invention accordingly provides for a sheath for a therapeutic vasoocclusive device which includes an assembly of a flexible pusher member and an embolic coil. The sheath includes a hollow, elongated tubular member having opposing upper and lower walls, opposing side walls, and a longitudinal interior channel, and a longitudinal slot formed in the upper wall of the elongated tubular member and extending the length, or majority of the length, of elongated tubular member. The slot has opposing sides with inner side surfaces extending through the upper wall of the elongated tubular member leading to the interior channel permitting introduction of the vasoocclusive device into the interior channel. In one aspect, the upper wall of the elongated tubular member adjacent to the slot has an angled configuration on the outside surface of the hollow, elongated tubular member. The angled configuration on the outside surface of the hollow, elongated tubular member has opposing exterior surfaces forming an interior angle of typically about 110° to 150°.
- In another aspect, the lower wall of the hollow, elongated tubular member is about 0.002 to 0.004 inches thick to allow the opposing sides of the slot of the hollow, elongated tubular member to flex outwardly to allow the slot to open to accept the vasoocclusive device. The hollow, elongated tubular member may be formed from a thermoplastic material, such as high density polyethylene, for example.
- In one embodiment, the sheath may further include wing members extending outwardly from the angled configuration on the outside surface of the hollow, elongated tubular member to facilitate insertion of the vasoocclusive device into the sheath. The wing members of the angled configuration on the outside surface of the hollow, elongated tubular member have opposing exterior surfaces typically forming an interior angle of about 110° to 150°. In a variation of these embodiments, the sheath may be formed in combination with the vasoocclusive device, the elongated tubular member consisting of a length with no slot attached to a segment of the flexible pusher member to facilitate initiation of loading of the flexible pusher member and embolic coil into the sheath.

The slot may, for example, have opposing exterior surfaces forming an interior angle of about 110° to 150°. The lower wall of the tubing is typically about 0.002 to 0.004 inches thick to allow opposing sides of the slot of the hollow, elongated tubular member to flex outwardly to allow the slot to open to accept the vasoocclusive device. The configuration allows the flexible pusher member to be inserted into the reloadable sheath by positioning the flexible pusher member and embolic coil assembly over the slot and providing a sliding pressure, such as by a person's thumb, along the length of the flexible pusher member and embolic coil assembly to introduce the flexible pusher member and embolic coil assembly into the sheath. In this embodiment, the sheath is fully removable from the flexible pusher member.

reloadable sheath 10′ for a therapeuticvasoocclusive device 12, which typically includes an assembly of aflexible pusher member 14 and anembolic coil 16 described above and illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. Thereloadable sheath 10′ is generally formed of a hollow, elongatedtubular member 22′ having anupper wall 24′ and an opposinglower wall 26′,opposing side walls 28′ and 30′, and a longitudinalinterior channel 32′. The upper wall of the elongated tubular member includes aslot 34′ with opposinginterior sides 36′ having surfaces extending through the upper wall leading to the interior channel, permitting introduction of the vasoocclusive device into the interior channel. - The upper wall of the elongated tubular member adjacent to the slot typically has an outer angled or V-shaped configuration on the outside surface of the tubing, to facilitate loading of the vasoocclusive device into the reloadable sheath. The slot may, for example, have opposing exterior surfaces forming an interior angle of about 110° to 150°. The lower wall of the tubing is typically about 0.002 to 0.004 inches thick to allow opposing sides of the slot of the hollow, elongated tubular member to flex outwardly to allow the slot to open to accept the vasoocclusive device. In this embodiment, the upper angled surface portions of the upper wall of the elongated tubular member adjacent to the slot may be formed as outwardly extending walls or
wing members 38 to facilitate insertion of the flexible pusher member and embolic coil assembly into the slotted sheath. - With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, in a variation of the first embodiment, which is equally applicable to the second embodiment, the invention provides for a sheath in combination with a vasoocclusive device which includes an assembly of the
flexible pusher member 14 and anembolic coil 16 that is adapted to be inserted into a portion of a vasculature for occluding a portion of the vasculature for use in interventional therapy and vascular surgery. The sheath can remain attached to asegment 40 of the flexible pusher member to facilitate initiation of loading of the flexible pusher member into the sheath. The sheath can be pulled off along the slot until the segment of the sheath without a slot is reached, a segment of length less than the unused working length of the pusher when fully loaded into the microcatheter, for example, about 10 cm. The sheath can then be looped and left attached to the end of the flexible pusher member while the flexible pusher member is loaded into a microcatheter (not shown). If the flexible pusher member is removed without embolic coil detachment, the sheath can be loaded back onto the flexible pusher member starting at the connected location and progressing toward an end of the flexible pusher member. The sheath can then be advanced over the embolic coil to allow the embolic coil to be advanced into the microcatheter at a later time. - In each of the foregoing embodiments, the elongated tubular member forming the reloadable sheath is typically formed from a thermoplastic material. The tubing may be formed from a thermoplastic material such as high density polyethylene, for example. Alternatively, other similar polymeric materials may also be suitable, such as polyurethane, nylons, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the like.
- It will be apparent from the foregoing that while particular forms of the invention have been illustrated and described, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited, except as by the appended claims.
