Abstract: The invention relates to a device for opening occluded blood vessels, comprising a braided structure (2) on a guide wire (1), said braided structure (2) being securely and permanently attached to the guide wire and consisting of a plurality of filaments (4) arranged in a helical manner and at least at the proximal end combined into a bundle, with the braided structure (2) assuming an elongated form of smaller diameter when subjected to external force while when in unstressed state defining a tubular element of larger diameter closed at least at its proximal end, with the device being provided with restraining/bracing fiber elements (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the removal of foreign objects and thrombi from body cavities and blood vessels (12) using at least one guide wire (6, 7) provided with a distal element (2), said distal element (2) being provided with fibers (3) projecting radially outward and the device being provided with a cage (1) or tubular structure (16) which is suitable to be flatly collapsible under the external strain exerted by a micro-catheter (13) and transported inside the micro-catheter (13) and unfolds to its full cage (1) or tubular (16) structure when said external strain caused by the micro-catheter (13) is omitted, with said distal element (2) and the cage (1) or tubular (16) structure being designed so as to be longitudinally movable in relation to each other and the cage (1) or tubular structure (16) having an opening at the distal end through which the distal element (2) can be introduced into said cage (1) or tubular (16) structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device provided with one or several distal elements (27), with the distal element (27) comprising at least two core wires (14) which are twisted around each other and between which fibers (6) are arranged transversely to the extension of the core wires (14), with said fibers (6) being twisted together with the core wires (14) so that the fibers (6) project radially outward from the distal element (27).
