  • Patent number: 12133657
    Abstract: A clot retrieval device for removing occlusive clot from a blood vessel. The device comprises an inner elongate body having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration. An outer elongate body is at least partially overlying the inner elongate body. The outer elongate body is expandable to a radial extent which is greater than the radial extent of the inner body in the deployed configuration to define a clot reception space. The outer elongate body has a plurality of clot receiving openings and a plurality of clot engaging regions. The clot engaging regions are adapted, on engagement with clot, to urge clot towards the clot receiving openings and into the reception space between the outer elongate body and the inner elongate body, wherein the radial force profile of the device varies along the length of the device.

  • Patent number: 12023058
    Abstract: Devices described herein include a stentriever for removing an occlusive clot. The stentriever can include a membrane cover on the proximal end which can be sized to form a seal with the tip of an intermediate catheter. Clot engagement sections and/or a distal engagement section of the stentriever can also include a full or partial membrane covering to control the direction of aspiration and/or areas where the aspiration applies suction to the thrombus or clot. The membranes can be used to direct the aspiration so as to pull the clot deeper into the clot engagement sections of the stentriever, thereby improving grip on the clot. The design can also increase the effectiveness of clot fragment protection for friable clots by providing pores and/or clot cells in a distal engagement section.
