Patent number: 12588925Abstract: A thrombectomy device includes a coring member configured to disintegrate a thrombus in a vessel into fragments from a proximal side of the thrombus and a catch member configured to be anchored at a distal side of the thrombus to provide embolic protection. The coring member and the catch member are operable independently of each other. Methods of removing a thrombus from a vessel employ a rotating coring device to disintegrate the thrombus into fragments.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2024Date of Patent: March 31, 2026Assignee: Acotec Technologies LimitedInventors: Alan Thomas, Jon Schabert, Michael Thai, Tao Nguyen
