Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing medical devices of a size sufficiently small to be passed through the vasculature of the body, and more particularly through the small vessels of the brain. The method includes the steps of laser cutting a pattern of apertures in the surface of a tubular workpiece, radially compressing the tubular workpiece to reduce the outer dimensions of the workpiece and heat setting the reduced diameter workpiece to form the very small medical device.
