    摘要: A retrieval medical device for entrapping and retaining an object located in a body for its extraction therefrom is described. The device includes a basket-filter constituted by a plurality of filaments extending from the proximal end towards the distal end. The filaments are bound together in the vicinity of the proximal end to form a plurality of main branches. Each main branch includes at least two filaments. The filaments are entangled together in the vicinity of the distal end. Each main branch has a ramification point at which it ramifies into at least two single filaments extending from the ramification point towards the basket distal end of the basket-filter. One of the single filaments extends in the form of a right spiral, whereas another single filament extends in the form of a left spiral. The filaments extending from the ramification points interlace with each other, thereby forming a mesh between the branching point and the basket proximal end having density greater than 5.1 crossover points per inch.

    摘要: A device for removing a thrombus from a retinal vessel has a grip held by the user of the device, a tubular portion to be inserted into the eye, the tubular portion being provided at an end of the grip, a microtube to be inserted into a retinal vessel, the microtube being provided at an end of the tubular portion, a linear pusher axially slidably held in the microtube and the tubular portion, and an operating portion provided at the grip. The linear pusher is adapted to protrude to a desired position from an end of the microtube by axially sliding the linear pusher by means of the operating portion, thereby the linear pusher physically pushes a thrombus out of the retinal vessel.
