SHAPE-SET TEXTILE STRUCTURE BASED MECHANICAL THROMBECTOMY SYSTEMS
A biomedical shape-set textile structure based mechanical thrombectomy systems and methods are described. In one of the embodiments, the mechanical thrombectomy device can be customized to the length of the clot in each patient. In one of the embodiments, the mechanical thrombectomy device because of the textile structure has a very low overall profile or thickness that is less than 0.0125 inches (0.317 mm) and therefore can be deployed within microcatheters with inner lumen diameter as small as 0.014 inches (0.355 mm).
1 . A mechanical thrombectomy device for blood clot removal from human blood vessels, comprising
a biomedical shape-set expansile textile structure,
a delivery system, and
a bonding zone between the biomedical shape-set expansile textile structure and the delivery system
wherein the thickness of the mechanical thrombectomy device in the collapsed configuration measures no more than about 0.0125 inch (0.317 mm) and wherein the said mechanical thrombectomy device can be deployed using a microcatheter that has an inner lumen diameter of 0.014 inch or greater (0.355 mm).
