Abstract
A vascular filter device () has a support frame () and filter elements (). The filter elements () extend from the support frame towards filter element ends forming an on-axis apex () at which they are interconnected by a holder (). The filter elements () are biased such that if unconnected the filter element ends are located between the support frame and said central axis when the vascular filter device is unconstrained. The filter element unconnected positions are provided by the filter element shapes and the angles at which they extend from the support frame, and in one example this is achieved by laser cutting tubing and heat setting the material.
