EMBOLISM DEVICE AND SPRING COILS THEREOF

An embolization device and a coil thereof (10, 20, 30) are disclosed. The coil (10, 20, 30) is formed by joining together at least four structural elements arranged in different planes, which include at least two C-shaped elements (12) and at least one O-shaped element (13) or Ω-shaped (11) element. The at least two C-shaped elements (12) are arranged in two adjacent planes and are sequentially joined together to form an S-shaped structure. The embolization device preferably includes plurality of coils (10, 20, 30) which are joined together side-by-side and end-to-end, wherein in any adjacent two coils (10, 20, 30), one is swivelable about an axis of the embolization device with respect to the other. The Ω-shaped element is structurally stable, allowing the coil (10, 20, 30) to maintain good structural stability. At the same time, the three-dimensional S-shaped structure has good deflectability, which imparts high compliance to the coil (10, 20, 30). With this construction, the coil (10, 20, 30) can satisfy the requirements of both stable basket formation and compliant packing and can adapt to various aneurysms of different shapes and sizes with a dense packing effect.
