  • Catheter funnel extension
    Patent number: 11883043
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a system for retrieving a blood clot in a blood vessel using a clot retrieval device having an expansile funnel that can engage with the blood clot. The present disclosure also includes a clot retrieval device having an expandable framework that can engage with the blood clot. The expansile funnel and expandable framework can expand from a collapsed delivery state to an expanded deployed state, increasing the cross-sectional area of the clot retrieval device engaging the blood clot. The increased cross-sectional area of the clot retrieval device can increase the suction force, providing effective removal of the clot from the patient.
