Abstract
This is a surgical device. Specifically disclosed is a delivery system for placement of implantable occlusive devices. In particular, the occlusive devices may be placed at selected treatment sites in the vascular system. The major variation described here is a combination of occlusive filaments produced from gel polymers and various grippers, engagers, and couplers that are capable of holding onto the often slippery occlusive devices and of releasing them at desired treatment sites within the human body. Processes for use of such devices are also included.
