This invention is directed to an implant having a coil for embolizing a vascular site, such as aneurysm. The coil has a specific three-dimensional shape that is achieved by winding the coil around a mandrel in a specific pattern and then heat setting the coil and the mandrel, another aspect of the invention. The three-dimensional shape resembles unclosed mobius loops. Also provided are methods of making the coil and methods of embolizing vascular site.

An implant comprising: a coil having a coil length that is biased to conform to a winding pattern, the coil comprising a primary, substantially linear configuration for delivery of the coil to a vascular site, and a secondary, substantially spherical configuration in an unrestrained state for pos
1. An implant comprising: a coil having a coil length that is biased to conform to a winding pattern, the coil comprising a primary, substantially linear configuration for delivery of the coil to a vascular site, and a secondary, substantially spherical configuration in an unrestrained state for positioning at said vascular site, the winding pattern approximately conforming to an outer surface of a sphere, the winding pattern consisting of only substantially triangular shapes, each triangular shape having a center, four of the triangular shapes having sides that bow outward away from the center, four of the triangular shapes having sides that bow inward towards the center, the coil comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis that, when the coil is in the linear configuration, extends from the proximal end to the distal end, the coil formed by winding about a mandrel and twisting the proximal end at least half a turn with respect to the distal end about the longitudinal axis. 2. The implant of claim 1, wherein the coil substantially conforms to a vascular site. 3. The implant of claim 1, wherein the coil is comprised of a metal wire. 4. The implant of claim 3, wherein the wire is comprised of a metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, rhenium, iridium, gold, silver, tungsten, tantalum, an alloy of two or more of these metals, or a super elastic metal. 5. The implant of claim 4, wherein the wire is a platinum alloy. 6. A method of embolizing a vascular site of a patient comprising delivering an implant of claim 1 via a delivery device to the vascular site thereby embolizing the vascular site. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the implant substantially conforms to the vascular site. 8. The method of claim 7 comprising delivering additional implants to the vascular site. 9. An implant comprising: a coil having a coil length that is biased to conform to a winding pattern, the coil comprising a primary, substantially linear configuration for delivery of the coil to a vascular site, and a secondary, substantially spherical configuration in an unrestrained state for positioning at said vascular site, the winding pattern approximately conforming to an outer surface of a sphere, the winding pattern consisting of only substantially triangular shapes, each triangular shape having a center, four of the triangular shapes having sides that bow outward away from the center, four of the triangular shapes having sides that bow inward towards the center. 10. The implant of claim 9, wherein the coil substantially conforms to a vascular site. 11. The implant of claim 9, wherein the coil is comprised of a metal wire. 12. The implant of claim 11, wherein the wire is comprised of a metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, rhenium, iridium, gold, silver, tungsten, tantalum, an alloy of two or more of these metals, or a super elastic metal. 13. The implant of claim 12 wherein the wire is a platinum alloy. 14. A method of embolizing a vascular site of a patient comprising delivering an implant of claim 9 via a delivery device to the vascular site thereby embolizing the vascular site. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the implant substantially conforms to the vascular site. 16. The method of claim 15 comprising delivering additional implants to the vascular site.
