| 20110202088 | Embolectomy Device With Optional Vibrator - The present invention provides an embolectomy device for removal of clots from vasculature, said device comprising: a proximal effecter characterized by a non-expanded configuration and an expanded configuration; a distal effecter characterized by a non-expanded configuration and an expanded configuration; said proximal effecter, in said expanded configuration is adapted for grasping a proximal portion of the target embolus; said proximal effecter, in said expanded configuration is adapted for grasping a distal portion of said target embolus; wherein both said effecters, when expanded, are oppositely positioned and are adapted to operate in concert, for trapping said clot such that said clot is (i) manipulatable along and/or around the main longitudinal axis of said vasculature in a predetermined set of motions; (ii) extracted out of said vasculature. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110152920 | EMBOLECTOMY DEVICE - It is one object of the present invention to provide a device for extracting a clot from a blood vessel in a non fragmented manner, comprising: 1. an endless wire coupled to a spring-like helical member having a plurality of loops; said loops are positioned at an angle A relatively to the main longitudinal axis of said blood vessel; and, are adapted to radially encircle at least a portion of the outer circumference of said clot; and, 2. a tubular mesh-like net for both enveloping said helical member and enclosing said clot therein; wherein at least a portion of said clot is contemporaneously confined within said loops and said mesh-like net, such that radial compression forces and longitudinal shearing forces are exerted on said clot and the tendency of said clot to fragment is mitigated. | 06-23-2011 |
