Alternative use for hydrogel intrasaccular occlusion device with telescoping central support element
First Claim
1. An endovascular treatment mesh device for closing outpouchings by affixing at least one amorphous hydrogel layer expandable in vivo to any or all surfaces of an expandable body comprising of at least one material adapted to close said outpouching in the body, andthe treatment mesh further including a reinforcing extension element, wherein said reinforcing extension element minimizes risk of collapse, andwherein said reinforcing extension element is a telescoping center-support bar having at least two telescoping elements disposed within said treatment mesh, andwherein said hydrogel affixed to the surface of said at least two telescoping elements.
