Abstract
A mechanical thrombectomy device, and methods of manufacturing and using the mechanical thrombectomy device, are described. The mechanical thrombectomy device includes a support wire and a clot arrestor. The clot arrestor has an expandable frame that includes an interior wall defining a lumen. The support wire is coupled to a proximal end of the clot arrestor and extends through the lumen along the interior wall. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
Claims20
A mechanical thrombectomy device, comprising:
- a support wire;
- and
- a plurality of clot arrestors, wherein at least one clot arrestor of the plurality of clot arrestors includes an expandable frame having an interior wall defining a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the support wire, and wherein when the clot arrestors are deployed in free space and the support wire is in a straight configuration, the support wire extends through the lumen along and against the interior wall from the proximal end to the distal end.
A mechanical thrombectomy device, comprising:
- a support wire;
- and
- a plurality of clot arrestors, wherein at least one clot arrestor of the plurality of clot arrestors includes a ring of frame cells having an interior wall defining a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the support wire, and wherein when the clot arrestors are deployed in free space and the support wire is in a straight configuration, the support wire extends through the lumen along and against the interior wall from the proximal end to the distal end.
A mechanical thrombectomy device, comprising:
- a support wire;
- and
- a plurality of clot arrestors, wherein at least one clot arrestor of the plurality of clot arrestors includes a cylindrical frame having an interior wall defining a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the support wire, and wherein when the clot arrestors are deployed in free space and the support wire is in a straight configuration, the support wire extends through the lumen along and against the interior wall from the proximal end to the distal end.
