Abstract:
A thrombectomy device includes a handle at a proximal end portion of the device, a first arm connected to the handle, and a second arm extending to a distal end portion of the device. The device may also include a cage at the distal end portion of the device, the cage being adjustable between a contracted orientation and an expanded orientation, the cage including a cutting element disposed between a proximal end portion of the cage and a distal end of the cage, the cutting element including one or more of a round wire, a flat wire, or a blade configured to remove matter from a body lumen when the cage is in the expanded orientation, and a macerator extending within the first arm and the second arm, the macerator including a helical element.
