CLOT RETRIEVAL DEVICE

摘要

A clot retrieval device includes a clot retrieval unit having a pusher member and a retrieval basket connected to the distal end of the pusher member. The retrieval basket is transformable between an expanded state and a contracted state. The retrieval basket also includes a closeable opening in the distal end for receiving a clot into the retrieval basket. The opening and the transition between the expanded and contracted states are controlled by a control wire connected to the distal end of the retrieval basket.
