1. A method for making an occlusive device, the method comprising:
obtaining a tubular mesh having a lumen therethrough, the mesh comprising a first end portion, a second end portion opposite the first end portion along a length of the mesh, and an intermediate portion therebetween;
obtaining a forming member having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface along a thickness of the forming member, and an inner surface extending between the first and second surfaces and defining a lumen of the forming member;
positioning the intermediate portion of the mesh within the lumen of the forming member such that the first end portion of the mesh extends away from the first surface along a first direction and the second end portion of the mesh extends away from the second surface along a second direction opposite the first direction;
everting the mesh over the forming member such that a first portion of the first end portion of the mesh conforms to the first surface and a second portion of the first end portion of the mesh extends along the second direction, the second portion of the first end portion of the mesh being spaced apart from the second end portion of the mesh by a radial dimension of the forming member;
conforming the second portion of the first end portion of the mesh and the second end portion of the mesh to one another to cause at least one region of the mesh to conform to the second surface of the forming member; and
setting a shape of the mesh while positioned on the forming member.
