Abstract: A vein filter having improved collectability of chyme blood or thrombi and stability of indwelling. The filter includes at least 3 wires radially spreading backward of a head member and connected such that the intervals between any adjacent two wires are connected with threads of an equal length at a substantially equal distance from the head member. At respective connection parts where the threads are connected to the wires, hook parts to be hooked on the inner wall of a blood vessel are provided. The head member is on the apex of a shaft extending back and the rear end of each wire is connected to a slide member slidable along the shaft. The wires are preferably made of shape memory alloy or stainless spring steel.
