Zusammenfassung:An embolisation device (300, 500) for promoting clot formation in a body lumen comprising two or more linearly connected sections (305, 505), each section comprising one or more bristle segments (310, 510) comprising a core and a plurality of flexible bristles (330, 530) extending at least radially outwardly from the core, the flexible bristles having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration in which the bristles extend at least radially outwardly from the core to anchor the bristle segment in a bodily lumen, wherein: each pair of adjacent sections are connected via a respective connecting mechanism; and when the bristle segments are in the expanded deployed configuration, each respective connecting mechanism is selectively changeable from a first configuration attaching the pair of adjacent sections, to a second configuration detaching the pair of adjacent sections.
