  • Publication number: 20220378452
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220370088
    Abstract: Catheter-delivered endovascular medical devices are described. The devices may include a pull wire attached to a distal body. The distal body may be formed of a distal body outer body comprising a basket comprised of a plurality of cells defined by a plurality of basket strips and a distal body inner body located in the interior of the distal body outer body and comprising a plurality of distal braided mesh openings formed by a plurality of woven linear strands. The distal braided mesh openings may be smaller than the cells when the device is in the relaxed state. Methods of using and making the devices are also described.
