Abstract
A low profile intraluminal filter includes first and second wire members that define arcuate paths having only a single sigmoidal curve. Connectors join the wire members to form an opening between the wire members. Each connecting member of a plurality of connecting members is connected to the first and second wire members and extends across the opening. The plurality of connecting members provides a plurality of open cells that permit passage of fluid flow through the opening when the filter is deployed within a body vessel.
