The patent filed by Terumo Corp. discloses implant engagement mechanisms designed to maintain engagement with a stent until it is fully deployed and expanded from a catheter or sheath. This allows for the withdrawal or retraction of the sheath before full deployment, enabling redeployment of the stent at a more desirable position. The mechanism involves a pusher, a stent with loops, and a retention wire that passes through the loops in a retention configuration, providing a secure attachment.
The stent engagement mechanism described in the patent includes various configurations such as a retention wire affixed to the pusher, a second tension wire passing through the stent loops, and a pair of wires forming a V-shaped loop attached to the stent. These mechanisms ensure the stent remains engaged during deployment and can be repositioned if necessary. The use of shape memory materials like Nitinol and specific attachment methods such as welding or bonding enhance the reliability and functionality of the engagement mechanisms, offering a practical solution for medical procedures involving stent deployment.
