An embolic protection system comprises an embolic protection filter (1) having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration. The filter (1) is housed in the collapsed configuration in a reception space of a delivery catherter (20). The delivery catheter (20) containing the filter (1) is housed in a sealed sterile pouch (35). The filter (1) may be coated with a non-thrombogenic coating and an adhesion preventer (9) such as a silicon gel is used to substantially prevent adhesion of adjacent folds of the filter (1) when the filter is in the collapsed configuration in the delivery catheter (20). <Figure 2(f)>
