Abstract: Catheters and uses of same are described. The catheter may be an aspiration or distal access catheter used to treat stroke or other neurovascular conditions and may include a proximal segment and a distal segment with fixed shapes and outer diameters, and a distensible segment that is located proximal to the distal segment and adjacent to the catheter distal end and that is configured to undergo a conformation change when the catheter open distal end is lodged against the wall of a human blood vessel and a surgeon is attempting to move the catheter distally through the human blood vessel. The catheter may include a wall that is comprised of an inner tube surrounding the catheter's hollow interior, a coil surrounding the inner tube, a braid surrounding the coil and/or an outer tube surrounding the braid.

Abstract: Catheter-delivered endovascular medical devices are described. The devices may include a pull wire attached to a deployable dual basket system. The deployable dual basket system may include a proximal basket and a distal basket that are connected by basket connector tether memory metal strips that rotate/twist relative to the longitudinal axes of the basket and form flex points of the system. The proximal basket and the distal basket may be comprised of a plurality of cells and the proximal basket may taper at its proximal end and the distal basket may be tapered at its distal end. Methods of using and making the devices are also described.

Abstract: A platform of devices for removing obstructions and other objects within a blood vessel or other interior lumen of an animal is provided.
