Abstract
In some examples, a catheter includes an elongated body including a proximal portion and a distal portion. The elongated body includes an inner liner, an outer jacket, a structural support member positioned between at least a portion of the inner liner and at least a portion of the outer jacket, and an expandable member coupled to the structural support member at the distal portion of the elongated body. The expandable member may be configured to expand radially outward, e.g., to engage a clot within vasculature of a patient.
Claims20
A catheter comprising:
- an elongated body including a proximal portion and a distal portion, the elongated body comprising:
- an inner liner;
- an outer jacket mechanically coupled to the inner liner;
- a structural support member positioned between at least a portion of the inner liner and at least a portion of the outer jacket;
- and
- an expandable member mechanically coupled to the structural support member at the distal portion of the elongated body, wherein the expandable member is configured to expand radially outward from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, and wherein the outer jacket extends over at least a portion of the expandable member that expands radially outward when the expandable member is in the expanded configuration and when the expandable member is in the collapsed configuration.
