Illustration of a sinusoidal thrombus capture wire positioned between two expandable spheres, designed for effective clot removal in vascular procedures.
The distal sphere expands to anchor and provide distal embolic protection, capturing the clot between the spheres, while the proximal sphere drags the thrombus into an aspiration catheter for removal.

Patent Covers Innovative Clot Removal Device With Independently Controllable Elements, Advancing Treatment of Vascular Blockages.
The newly allowed patent, titled "Clot Removal Methods and Devices with Multiple Independently Controllable Elements," outlines a novel device featuring an elongated member with two independently expandable elements, each controllable through a specialized handle interface. This technology enables precise manipulation of the device within the vessel, allowing the expandable elements to adopt various geometric shapes, including spherical, elliptical, and conical forms, to optimize clot capture and removal.
Key Features of the Patented Technology:
• Dual Expandable Elements: The device is equipped with proximal and distal expandable elements along the length of the elongated member, each capable of independent movement and expansion to accommodate various clot sizes and vessel anatomies.
• Multiple Geometric Configurations: The expandable elements can be adjusted to a variety of shapes such as spherical, elliptical, and conical, ensuring effective engagement with the clot and minimizing the risk of vessel damage.
• Enhanced Control Mechanism: The handle is designed with multiple physically manipulable interfaces, allowing precise control over the expansion and movement of the device, providing the operator with superior flexibility and control during the procedure.
