Abstract
The disclosure provides for a spiral filter and delivery apparatus where the filter comprises a support supporting a body and defining a frame. The frame comprises a proximal end extending to a distal end. A filtering member may be attached to the proximal end and extend distally to the distal end. The filtering member and the frame may move between a delivery state and a deployed state. In the deployed state, the frame extends helically within the circumference of the body vessel and has a filtering lumen formed therethrough. The filtering member may be disposed within the filtering lumen in a spiral for filtering within the intended body vessel.
