Abstract
A wire for removing an intravascular foreign body comprises a flexible wire body, a branch part branching out from the forward end of the wire body, and a plurality of filaments extending across the branch part. The branch part and the filaments form a space for capturing a foreign body therein. At least one of the filaments is changeable in length so that the loop formed by the filament and the branch part changes in size. The wire is capable of relatively reliably capturing and removing a foreign body in the vessel.
