Abstract

Claims (21)

1 . An intravascular device, comprising:

a vascular pusher comprising a distal connection portion;

a tool attached to, and extending from, the distal connection portion of the vascular pusher, the tool being formed by a mesh of at least two sets of filaments, and comprising a proximal connection portion including laser-cut proximal ends of the at least two sets of filaments; and

an attachment between the proximal connection portion of the tool and the distal connection portion of the vascular pusher, the attachment being adapted to keep the tool connected to the vascular pusher and having an outer diameter substantially equal to an outer diameter of the vascular pusher.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends of the at least two sets of filaments are disposed within a same cylindrical boundary, without extending outwardly or inwardly.

3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends comprise perpendicular cross-sections with regard to an axial axis of the tool.

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends terminate in a same cross-sectional plane.

5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the attachment comprises a thermoplastic material extending between or over the proximal connection portion of the tool and the distal connection portion of the vascular pusher.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the attachment comprises glue extending between or over the proximal connection portion of the tool and the distal connection portion of the vascular pusher.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the mesh comprises at least two distinct tubular sections, a first tubular section of uniform diameter and a second tubular section comprising a shape with a progressive reduction of diameter to open and create a space for a thrombus, the first tubular section including the proximal connection portion of the tool.

8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the vascular pusher comprises a hypotube, a vascular catheter or a tubular element.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the mesh further comprises a third tubular section of uniform diameter.

10 . A method of manufacturing an intravascular device, comprising:

providing a vascular pusher comprising a distal connection portion;

attaching a tool to the vascular pusher, extending from the distal connection portion of the vascular pusher, the tool being formed by a mesh of at least two sets of filaments, and comprising a proximal connection portion including laser-cut proximal ends of the at least two sets of filaments; and

providing an attachment between the proximal connection portion of the tool and the distal connection portion of the vascular pusher to keep the tool connected to the vascular pusher, the attachment having an outer diameter substantially equal to an outer diameter of the vascular pusher.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends being cut by means of a laser-cut technique.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends being cut by means of a laser device.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends of the at least two sets of filaments are disposed within a same cylindrical boundary, without extending outwardly or inwardly.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends comprise perpendicular cross-sections with regard to an axial axis of the tool.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the laser-cut proximal ends terminate in a same cross-sectional plane.
