Guidewires and thin-film catheter-sheaths, fabricated using vacuum deposition techniques, which are monolayer or plural-layer members having ultra-thin wall thicknesses to provide very-low profile delivery assemblies for introduction and delivery of endoluminal devices.
대표청구항▼
1. A guidewire comprising a tubular guidewire body formed only of a thin-film consisting of a plurality of layers, wherein each layer consists of a vacuum deposited biocompatible metal having a plurality of microperforations that impart at least one of longitudinal compliance and radial compliance,
1. A guidewire comprising a tubular guidewire body formed only of a thin-film consisting of a plurality of layers, wherein each layer consists of a vacuum deposited biocompatible metal having a plurality of microperforations that impart at least one of longitudinal compliance and radial compliance, where the tubular guidewire body defines a guidewire lumen and extends from a proximal end to a distal end defining an entire longitudinal length of the guidewire. 2. The guidewire of claim 1, wherein a radiopaque metal is used to form at least one of the layers. 3. The guidewire of claim 1, wherein the plurality of layers are concentric. 4. An assembly for delivering a medical device via a patient's vascular system, the assembly comprising: a guidewire comprising a guidewire body formed only of a first thin-film comprising a plurality of layers of a first biocompatible metal having a plurality of microperforations that impart at least one of longitudinal compliance and radial compliance, the first thin-film formed by a vacuum deposition technique, where the guidewire body defines a guidewire lumen and extends from a proximal end to a distal end defining an entire longitudinal length of the guidewire; and a catheter-sheath having a tubular catheter-sheath body, the catheter sheath body comprising a second thin-film of a second biocompatible metal formed by a vacuum deposition technique, the catheter-sheath body defining a catheter-sheath lumen; wherein the guidewire is positioned coaxially within the lumen of the catheter-sheath, and wherein the medical device is concentrically positioned within a distal portion of the catheter-sheath lumen and intermediate the catheter-sheath body and the guidewire body, thereby forming the assembly. 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the guidewire body is generally tubular. 6. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the first and second biocompatible metals are similar. 7. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the medical device is selected from the group consisting of a stent, a graft, a stent-graft, a valve, a filter, an occluder, and a patch. 8. The guidewire of claim 1, wherein the thin-film includes a discontinuous column structure across the entire thickness of the thin-film. 9. The guidewire of claim 1, wherein the plurality of layers include a limit of the grain or defect size. 10. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the second thin-film comprises a plurality of layers and at least one of the first and second thin-films includes a discontinuous column structure across the entire thickness of the plurality of layers. 11. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the second thin-film comprises a plurality of layers, and the plurality of layers of at least one of the first and second thin-films include a limit of the grain or defect size. 12. A guidewire having a tubular guidewire body defining a guidewire lumen and extending from a proximal end to a distal end defining an entire longitudinal length of the guidewire, wherein the tubular guidewire body consists of only a thin-film of a biocompatible metal having a plurality of microperforations that impart at least one of longitudinal compliance and radial compliance, the one thin-film having a plurality of layers. 13. The guidewire of claim 12, wherein a radiopaque metal is used to form at least one of the layers. 14. The guidewire of claim 12, wherein the plurality of layers are concentric. 15. The guidewire of claim 12, wherein the plurality of layers include a limit of the grain or defect size. 16. The guidewire of claim 12, wherein the biocompatible metal is selected from the group of biocompatible materials consisting of elemental titanium, vanadium, aluminum, nickel, tantalum, zirconium, chromium, silver, gold, silicon, magnesium, niobium, scandium, platinum, cobalt, palladium, manganese, molybdenum and alloys thereof, nitinol, and stainless steel.
