Abstract: The present invention provides an embolectomy device for removal of clots from vasculature, said device comprising: a proximal effecter characterized by a non-expanded configuration and an expanded configuration; a distal effecter characterized by a non-expanded configuration and an expanded configuration; said proximal effecter, in said expanded configuration is adapted for grasping a proximal portion of the target embolus; said proximal effecter, in said expanded configuration is adapted for grasping a distal portion of said target embolus; wherein both said effecters, when expanded, are oppositely positioned and are adapted to operate in concert, for trapping said clot such that said clot is (i) manipulatable along and/or around the main longitudinal axis of said vasculature in a predetermined set of motions; (ii) extracted out of said vasculature.
