Clot retrieval device for removing clot from a blood vessel

A method of removing clot from a vessel, the method comprising:

• delivering a clot retrieval device across the clot, wherein the clot retrieval device comprises:
• an inner body having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration;
• and
• an outer body extending along a longitudinal axis and positioned at least partially about the inner body, wherein the outer body comprises
• a first independent scaffolding section,
• a second independent scaffolding section pivotally connected distal of the first scaffolding section, and
• each scaffolding section being expandable to a radial extent greater than a radial extent of the inner body in the deployed configuration to define a clot reception space between the inner and outer bodies;
• urging the clot in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the clot retrieval device so as to direct at least a portion of the clot between the first and second scaffolding sections into the clot reception space.

• delivering a clot retrieval device across the clot, wherein the clot retrieval device comprises:
• an inner body having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration;
• and
• an outer body extending along a longitudinal axis and at least partially overlying the inner body, wherein the outer body comprises
• a first scaffolding section,
• a second scaffolding section hingedly connected distal of the first scaffolding section, the scaffolding sections of the outer body being expandable to a radial extent which is greater than the inner body in the deployed configuration to define a clot reception space between the inner body and the scaffolding sections;
• expanding the clot retrieval device so that the scaffolding sections deform at least a portion of the clot between an inlet between the first and second scaffolding sections into the clot reception space.
