Description
Detachable Covering for an Implantable Medical Device Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to devices implanted within the human body and further to coverings about those devices. Specifically, the present invention relates to a detachable system for covering an implantable devices as it is delivered into the human body.
Those skilled in the art will recognize the benefits of applying the present invention to similar fields not discussed herein.
to Background of the Invention A variety of devices are now commercially available for implantation through minimally invasive techniques. These devices include stems and stmt-grafts used to maintain patent flow in blood vessels, the endo-biliary system or the urinary system.
These stems and stmt grafts have several different forms. Some are in the form of coiled wires while others are made from slotted tubes. Stems are also generally self-expanding or balloon expandable.
Typically, they are made from metal and have a few important characteristics.
These characteristics include expanded hoop strength, expansion force, expanded and unexpanded diameter, and the amount of foreshortening during expansion. Obviously the art of stmt design is to work with these conflicting characteristics in such a way as to form the ideal stmt. That stmt would require very little force to expand, start with a very small unexpanded diameter and reliably expand to whatever diameter desired and the stmt would not foreshorten when expanded.
Another important characteristic of a stmt or stmt-graft is the amount of expanded stmt material that comes into contact with the vessel. Having the surface of the stmt in contact with the stmt is important because of in-stmt restenosis. In-stmt restenosis is a phenomenon where, for some reason, the vessel grows through the struts or between the coils and thereby obstructs fluid flow in the vessel. Where the stmt is in direct contact with the vessel, the vessel can not impinge on the fluid flow. There is, therefore, a need for a stmt which maximizes all of the characteristics above and has as close to 100%
vessel contact in the area that is stented as possible.
Another type of device may generally be characterized as aneurysm repair devices.
Depending upon where in the body the aneurysm is located, a ruptured aneurysm may be fatal. Typically aneurysm repair devices are used to prevent the aneurysm from getting larger and ultimately bursting. Exemplary types of aneurysm repair devices include those which protect the aneurysm from getting larger by shielding the aneurysm from fluid pressure, covering the neck of an aneurysm, or filling the aneurysm with some sort of packing material.
to Similar to stems, aneurysm repair devices have a variety of conflicting material characteristics which make them perform better, most notably surface contact or sealing capability. In addition, present coil-shaped repair devices have a potential for the leading edge of the coil to corkscrew into the vessel wall. There is therefore a need for an aneurysm repair device that has good sealing characteristics and one which would be less likely to corkscrew into the vessel wall.
US Patent 5,334,? 10 describes a prior art vascular occlusion assembly and is depicted in Figure 1 of the current application. The assembly comprises a foldable material occlusion bag which is filled with a t7exible filler. Because the material is not non-compliant. it must be folded and must therefore disadvantageously increase the profile of the device. This bag may be positioned in a blood vessel and is intended to stop t~uid from flowing through the vessel. There is therefore no lumen in the device.
Overall there is need for a prosthesis which has nearly complete vessel wall contact while maintaining a patent fluid channel. This prosthesis and its accompanying delivered system would be highly advantageous.
Summary of the Invention The present invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a sheath attached to the distal end of a delivery device. The sheath may be generally cylindrical in shape and have a lumen therethrough. The sheath may be expandable such that, as an endoprosthesis is delivered into the lumen of the sheath, the sheath will take on the exterior configuration of the endoprosthesis. The endoprosthesis is thereby covered while maintaining a patent fluid lumen. The sheath may further be detachable from the delivery device and may have holes or slots to enhance blood porosity and to enhance its distensability. The endoprosthesis may include stems, coils, stmt grafts, aneurysm repair to devices or any other endoprosthesis known in the art.

Detailed Description of the Invention The following detailed description should be read with reference to the drawings in which like elements in different drawing are numbered identically. The drawings, which are not necessarily to scale. depict selected embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Examples of constructions, materials, dimensions, and manufacturing processes are provided for selected elements. All other elements employ that which is known to those skilled in the field of the invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that many of the examples provided have suitable alternatives that may also be used.
Turning now to Figure 1. Delivery system IS includes tube 10. Tube 10 may be a micro-catheter, guide catheter, hypotube or any other type of tube commonly known in the art. Depending on the application, the inner diameter or tube 10 may be .008-.39 inches.
Tube 10 may be formed of a polymer or a combination of polymers, metal, a metal polymer composite, a combination of polymers and metallic braid (not shown).
Surrounding a distal portion of tube 10 is sheath 20. Sheath 20 may preferably be made of an elastomer or l0 other highly compliant polymer. Such polymers may include latex, styrenic block copolymers such as SBS and SEBS made by Shell under trade name of Kraton, polyether-ester block copolymers (COPE) for co-polyesters made by DuPont under the trade name of Hytrel, thermoplastic polyamide elastomers (PEBA) made by Atochem under the trade name of Pebax, and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPUR) made by Dow under the trade 15 name Pellathane, or thermoplastic polyolefin elastomers (TPOs).
Sheath 20 may further include a proximal opening 25 and a distal opening 27.
In its non-distended configuration, sheath 20 may generally form a cylinder. Sheath 20 may have a ridge (not shown) on its interior near distal opening 27 which may be configured to better capture the distal end of a prosthesis. In an alternative embodiment, sheath 20 my have slots 20 or holes (not shown) which would enhance the porosity of sheath 20 and provide better flexibility.
Sheath 20 may be frictionally fit about the distal end of tube 10. In a preferred embodiment, an adhesive bond 30 binds sheath 20 to tube 10. Sheath 20 may detach from tube 10 in a variety of ways. Where sheath 20 is frictionally fit over tube 10, detachment may ?5 be achieved simply by overcoming the frictional forces between sheath 20 and tube 10, e.g.
pushing a prosthesis out of the distal end of tube 10. Where sheath 20 is attached to tube 10 by adhesive bond 30, the adhesive may be engineered to detach at any desired force.
Adhesive bond 30 may be formed with any medically approved adhesive. In an alternative embodiment, sheath 20 may have a circumferential perforation distal of adhesive bond 30 and thereby provide sheath 20 with a tear away detachment mechanism.
Turning now to Figure 3. Delivery system 15 is shown with a partially deployed self expanding coil 35. Coil 35 may be attached to pusher wire 40. When pusher wire 40 is moved distally relative to tube 10, the distal portion of coil 35 engages the distal portion of sheath 20. Sheath 20 then distends distally has coil 35 is advanced further out of tube 10.
o Once the entire coil 35 has been pushed out of tube 10, pusher wire 40 may be electrolytically detached. Methods of electrolytic detach are describe in US 5,122,136 which is hereby incorporated by reference. It may further be appreciated that a variety of detach mechanisms are available to serve this function and furthermore that pusher wire 40 does not need to be attached to coil 35.
15 Figure 4 depicts delivery system 15 in use in the vasculature. In this embodiment, a self-expanding stmt 45 has been introduced into a blood vessel. Pusher 40 has been advanced such that stent 45 was forced out of tube 10 and into contact with the interior of sheath 20. After sheath 20 detached from tube 10, sheath 20 remains in place about stmt 45 and prevents any incursion by the surrounding tissue into the lumen of stmt 45 and thereby 20 maintains a patent fluid lumen for blood to flow through. Another embodiment is depicted in Figure 5 where a tulip shaped coil 50 is placed in a body lumen.
Figure 6 illustrates yet another embodiment where wire 55 is advanced through tube 10. Wire 55 may be formed of any suitable medically approved metal such as stainless steel or alloys of nickel such as Nitinol. Wire 55 has a pre-curved shape and is only forced out of 25 that shape by placing wire 55 into tube 10. Care should be taken to choose a material for sheath 20 which will conform to the pre-curved shape of wire 55 without deforming wire 55.
As can readily be appreciated from Figure 7, as wire 55 emerges from tube 10 it enters sheath 20 and resumes its pre-curved shape. In this embodiment, wire 55 is pre-curved into a flat disc-like shape but could be any of a variety of shapes known in the art. As described above, further advancement of wire 55 eventually detaches sheath 20 from tube 10 and thereby delivers pre-curved wire 55 into a desired location with sheath 20 surrounding wire 55. Figure 8 depicts a particular use of pre-curved wire 5~. In this embodiment wire 55 forms into a disc-like shape suitable for covering an aneurysm neck.
Wire 55 may be delivered without any other structure being placed into aneurysm 60.
Alternatively, wire 55 may be delivered after particles or other embolic materials (not shown) have been deployed into aneurysm 60. In another embodiment wire 55 may be delivered into aneurysm 60 and particles may be delivered through wire 5~ thereby filling aneurysm 60 and capping it with l0 wire 55.
While the specification describes the preferred designs, materials, methods of manufacture and methods of use, those skilled in the art will appreciate the scope and spirit of the invention with reference to the appended claims.
