An occlusion device () includes a cannula (), a dilator tip () fixed to the cannula and a frame member formed of an occlusion member () and a sleeve (). The occlusion member () is covered with occlusion material (). The cannula () is in the form of a tube having a lumen () passing therethrough. The dilator tip () also has a lumen therethrough and a valve (). The arrangement is such that the occluder () can be delivered by an over the wire method using a guide wire, whereupon the cannula and dilator tip remain in the patient as part of the occluder assembly ().

Implantable occluder or filter

A medical device for collecting objects from a body lumen comprises a catheter, a basket having a closed first end and an open second end, and an actuator connected to the closed first end of the basket, the catheter and basket moveable relative to one another between a first configuration and a second configuration to draw objects from a body lumen into the basket. In the first configuration the closed first end of the basket is inside the catheter and the open second end is everted over at least a part of the closed first end. The apparatus may be actuated to pull the closed first end of the basket further into the catheter and invert the second end of the basket, the second end scraping the sides of the lumen as it inverts, surrounding an object in the lumen, and drawing the object into the basket.

Object capture device

A filter device for trapping embolic debris comprises a bag which is deployed by everting it from an end of a delivery catheter. After release from the catheter, with the assistance of a pusher member, the open end of the bag self-expands against the walls of a body lumen. In one method of removal after use, the device is withdrawn into catheter by pulling on a wire attached to the closed end of the bag.
