A device may be used for capturing and retrieving vascular debris. The device may include: at least two segments radially expandable from a collapsed state to an expanded state, each of the at least two segments having (a) a waist including a radially largest region of the segment and (b) two longitudinal ends; at least one intermediate portion, each of the at least one intermediate portion including a pivot that connects adjacent segments, each pivot having a diameter less than a diameter of the waist; wherein each of the at least two segments includes at least two struts that extend longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end of the segment, the at least two struts tapering from the waist radially inward toward a longitudinal axis of the device as the at least two struts approach an adjacent intermediate portion.
