A thrombosis macerating device for macerating blood clots and blockages in a blood vessel is disclosed. The macerating device comprises an expandable basket that is rotated to macerate the clot or blockage. The expandable basket is disposed at the distal end of the tubular shaft. The expandable basket comprises a plurality of struts that form a braiding pattern. The braiding pattern of the expandable basket comprises a pick per inch that ranges from 2 to 5.

Thrombosis macerating devices for blood vessels

A torque cable that comprises an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer includes a plurality of wires that form a braiding pattern. A first set of wires of the inner layer is directed in a proximal direction and a second set of wires of the inner layer is directed in a distal direction. The outer layer includes a plurality of wires that form a braiding pattern. A first set of wires of the outer layer is directed in a proximal direction and a second set of wires of the outer layer is directed in a distal direction.
