Embolectomy devices

An embolectomy device, comprising:

• a clot engaging structure comprising a plurality of interconnected struts forming an open cell structure extending around a longitudinal axis of the device and having an inner lumen, wherein the clot engaging structure is biased to expand, or is otherwise expandable from, a radially constrained configuration to a radially expanded configuration when released from a delivery catheter into a blood vessel;
• and
• a support structure positioned within the inner lumen of the clot engaging structure, the support structure comprising a plurality of connectors connected to respective struts of the clot engaging structure, the plurality of connectors spaced apart longitudinally along the longitudinal axis of the device,
• wherein the connectors are biased to self-expand from a radially constrained configuration to a radially expanded configuration to thereby cause or otherwise assist and/or facilitate expansion of the clot engaging structure and/or establishing and maintaining an open cell structure thereof when the clot engaging structure is released from a delivery catheter into a blood vessel, and
• wherein each connector of the plurality of connectors has a first end connected to a respective first strut of the clot engaging structure and a second end connected to a respective second strut of the clot engaging structure without being connected to a central support member.
