An aspiration catheter 10 has an aspiration tube 14 with a coaxial wire guide support 20. The distal end of the wire guide support 20 has a tip 18 for poking into thrombi. In use, the aspiration catheter 10 is navigated over a wire guide 40 until it is positioned adjacent to a thrombus before the tip 18 is moved back and forth in the distal-proximal direction to dislodge the thrombus and an aspiration force is applied via the aspiration tube 14 to suck the dislodged thrombus from the body. |
