Abstract
In embodiments of an obstruction removal device, system, and/or method, a removal tool and an expandable member are configured to be disposed at a distal end of a delivery tool. The removal tool may include peeler wires and hook wires that are configured to at least partially separate an obstruction from an inner surface of a vasculature. The expandable member is configured to at least partially surround the removal tool and is further configured to grasp at least one portion of the removal tool and the obstruction as the expandable member transitions from an expanded state to a contracted state when the delivery tool is removed from the vasculature to remove the removal tool and the obstruction from the vasculature.
