Abstract: An embolic protection device for capturing emboli during treatment of a stenotic lesion in a body vessel is disclosed. In one example, the device comprises a filter and a filter portion made of an extracellular matrix circumferentially attached to the filter. The filter comprises a plurality of struts having first ends attached together at a center portion along a longitudinal axis. Each strut has an arcuate segment extending from the first end to a second end. The struts are configured to move between an expanded state for engaging with the body vessel and a collapsed state for filter retrieval or delivery. The filter portion is configured for allowing blood to flow therethrough and for capturing emboli when the filter is in the expanded state.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for introducing a wire guide into a vessel through a medical device. The apparatus generally includes a body, a distal tip, and a first advancement wheel. The body defines a first axial passageway therein. The distal tip of the body defines a male Luer fitting and terminates in a taper having an angle relative to an outer surface of the male Luer fitting. The advancement wheel is rotatably attached to the body and positioned adjacent the first axial passageway. The first wheel defines a grasping area contacting the wire guide and axially translates the wire guide relative to the body. A holder is preferably attached to a proximal end of the body and stores a portion of the guide wire for delivery into the vessel.
