The present invention relates to a device for removing concretions from body vessels, comprising at least one compressible receiving element (20) for receiving concrements and a supply device (11) for guiding the compressed receiving element (10). According to the invention, an actuation device (12) and a closure means (13) are assigned to the receiving element (10), wherein the closure means (13) can be moved into an open position for introducing the concretion into the receiving element (10) and into a closed position for withholding the concretion in the receiving element (10). The invention is characterized in that the actuation device (12) is adjusted in such a manner that, during use, it exerts a force on the concretion to be removed, said force acting in the direction of the receiving element (10). |
