Abstract: Medical device for embolic protection in an aortic arch, comprising a catheter having a shaft and a distal end portion of the shaft, an expandable embolic protection device having a filter membrane and a frame. The frame comprises a frame loop and an elongated frame shaft having a distal end portion connected to the frame loop in a connection point, in its expanded state the frame loop spans said filter membrane and bending means to bend the distal end portion of the catheter and/or the distal end portion of the frame shaft. The medical device comprises a protective state in which the distal end portion of the catheter is bent, the embolic protection device is expanded, the frame shaft extends in a longitudinal direction of the bent distal end portion and the expanded frame loop being completely positioned distally of the connection point.

Abstract: Embolic protection device for insertion into an aortic arch, with a filter unit, a frame and a feed unit, wherein the filter unit is arranged at the frame and the frame provides a proximal area having a proximal shape, which is arranged in an inner area of the frame and is connected to the feed unit, wherein the proximal shape has a first part and a second part, wherein the second part is formed at one end of the first part.

Abstract: The invention concerns an embolic protection device for inserting into an aortic arch to prevent embolisms. The invention moreover concerns a handle for such an embolic protection device, as well as a system consisting of said handle and the embolic protection device and a system consisting of a handle, an embolic protection device and a catheter. Through the invention, an embolic protection device for inserting into an aortic arch, comprising a filtering unit and a feeding unit, is provided, wherein the filtering unit comprises a frame and a filter mesh, and the filter mesh is placed on the frame, the filtering unit has a proximal area and a distal area, wherein the filtering unit is designed in such a way that it can, at least partially, be positioned in the aortic arch, and wherein, once the filtering unit is appropriately positioned, haptic feedback is generated, which signals to the user the final position.
