Abstract
An example extraction device may include a generally tubular shaft including a distal end configured to be inserted into a patient and a proximal end configured to be retained exteriorly of the patient; a basket extending from the distal end of the shaft, the basket including a plurality of flexible, distally extending legs, the legs including respective distal ends that are biased generally radially outward to at least partially define a basket distal opening; a handle disposed at the proximal end of the shaft; an actuator disposed on the handle; and/or a closure line operatively coupled to the actuator, the closure line extending distally through the shaft, through a closure line guide disposed on the distal end of the shaft, and generally circumferentially about the basket distal opening, the closure line being slidably coupled to each leg near its respective leg distal end.
