1. A medical device for delivery through a catheter, the medical device comprising:

  • a main bundle comprising a group of wires having a first end extending through the catheter and a second end;

    where the main bundle of wires diverge at the second end to form a first shaped section, the first shaped section further comprises an expanded profile and a reduced profile for delivery through the catheter;

    a plurality of individual subsets of wires each diverging from the first shaped section to form a second shaped section;

    where the individual subsets of wires converge to form a third Shaped section, where the third shaped section comprises an expanded profile and a reduced profile for delivery through the catheter, where the third shaped section is self expanding to assume the expanded profile upon deployment from the catheter; and

    where the convergence and divergence of wires occurs without junctions between wires and where the third shaped section is configured to assume the expanded profile independently of the first shaped section.
