There are disclosed various dispensing mechanisms for dispensing filamentary material (24) through a catheter (12) into a treatment site of a patient, for example into an aneurysm sack (20) in a patient's vessel (22). In one embodiment, the dispensing assembly (30) includes a chamber having a spherical carrier (50) onto which filamentary material (24) is wound. Upon injecting driving fluid into the dispensing assembly (30) filamentary material (24) unwinds from the spherical carrier (50) and is pulled through the catheter (12) to be dispensed from the distal end (18) of the catheter.

1. Apparatus for delivering filamentary material into a patient including: a tubular delivery element having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending within the tubular delivery element from the proximal to the distal ends;a material dispenser coupled at the proximal end of the tubular delivery element, the material dispenser including a receptacle having an internal wall of which at least a part has a generally rounded shape, the receptacle including an aperture for receiving driving fluid into the receptacle and an outlet coupled to the lumen of the tubular delivery element; anda material carrier operable to carry a length of filamentary material, the material carrier having a generally rounded shape conforming at least to said rounded part of the internal wall of the receptacle and having a size smaller than a size of the receptacle;the filamentary material being wound around the carrier and having an end located through the outlet for feeding into and through the lumen of the tubular delivery element, wherein the carrier is free to rotate in any direction within the receptacle. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the tubular delivery element includes at least one of a catheter, a cannula and a needle. 3. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier has a generally spherical shape. 4. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier has a generally ovoidal shape. 5. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier includes at least one groove extending therearound, the filamentary material being retained in the groove. 6. Apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the at least one groove is disposed at or adjacent a point of greatest diameter or perimeter of the carrier. 7. Apparatus according to claim 5, including a plurality of grooves. 8. Apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the grooves lie in generally parallel planes relative to one another. 9. Apparatus according to claim 7, wherein at least two of the grooves lie in planes which cross one another. 10. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier is made of a plastics material. 11. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier includes a hollow core. 12. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier is made of a material buoyant in water or a water based solution. 13. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier is uncoupled from the receptacle. 14. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the carrier becomes suspended in driving fluid when said driving fluid is fed into the receptacle of the material dispenser. 15. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the receptacle is at least partially transparent or translucent. 16. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein substantially the entirety of the receptacle is transparent or translucent. 17. Apparatus according to claim 1, including a fluid supply and pump for pumping driving fluid into the receptacle. 18. Apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the pump includes a syringe. 19. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the material is SIS, polysaccharide, a biocompatible polymeric thread or other biocompatible material. 20. Apparatus for delivering filamentary material into a patient, including a receptacle provided with an internal chamber for holding filamentary material, an aperture for receiving driving fluid into the chamber, an outlet through which filamentary material can pass from the chamber a material carrier operable to carry the filamentary material and is free to rotate in any direction within the receptacle, and a pressure sensitive valve associated with the receptacle, the pressure sensitive valve being closed when the pressure of driving fluid is below a threshold and open when the pressure of driving fluid is above the threshold, the pressure sensitive valve when open allowing fluid flow through the chamber and dispensation of filamentary material from the outlet. 21. Apparatus according to claim 20, wherein the pressure sensitive valve is disposed at least one of the inlet and the outlet. 22. Apparatus according to claim 21, wherein the valve is located at the inlet. 23. Apparatus according to claim 20, wherein the valve includes at least one resilient valve leaf deformable when fluid pressure thereon exceeds the threshold. 24. Apparatus according to claim 20, wherein the valve is domed to provide one-way fluid flow therethrough. 25. Apparatus according to claim 20, including filamentary material disposed in the receptacle.
