TL;DR: The vasoocclusive device for interventional therapy and vascular surgery adapted to be inserted into a portion of a vasculature, includes a vasocclusive coil disposed about an inner reinforcement coil wherein said vaso-clusive coil is helically wound and the inner reinforcement coils forms a reverse helical winding opposite the vasoclusive coil winding, thereby forming a biplex wound coil as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a vasocclusive coil is reinforced with a stretch resistant member to improve safety during retraction of the coil, and the stretch-resistant member may be formed from a therapeutic and/or bioactive nonmetallic material to enhance the therapeutic properties of the vasoocclusive coils.

TL;DR: In this article, a fluid handling system for applying a plurality of pulses of fluid shear stress to a fluid sample may comprise a first sample chamber, a second sample chamber; a pluralityof conduits mounted between and in fluid communication with the first sample and the second sample chambers; and a force delivery system mounted to the first sampled chamber and configured to apply a force sufficient to push the fluid sample from the first sampling chamber through each of the conduits at a substantially constant flow rate to the second sampling chamber.
