The distal end of the sleeve will be at least partially covered with a polymer fluid impermeable membrane in order to provide a seal to prevent fluid flow through the occlusion device. The internal valve will be haemostatic regardless of the initial direction of blood flow and will allow distal endovascular delivery of a surgical instrument such as a catheter that can be manipulated and used to deliver therapeutic agents such as liquid or small particle embolics."
The patent application was internationally filed on Aug. 11, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/072331.
