Abstract
A resheathing apparatus for a tube that is insertable through an endovascular catheter includes a guide that has a proximal end, a distal end, at least one lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and a branch extending away from the lumen at one end of the guide. A sheath may be placed over the tube by sliding the resheathing apparatus along the length of the tube. The resheathing apparatus may also include a guide tube that fits over the branch of the guide and directs a sheath over the tube that is insertable through an endovascular catheter. The resheathing apparatus may be used with vascular embolization devices, and may be used with devices that are delivered via microcatheter systems. Methods of using the resheathing apparatus are also disclosed.
