An obstruction removal device is described having a retrieval component used to engage an obstruction within the vasculature and a sheath component that is capable of inverting to fold over the obstruction and the retrieval component. The sheath component helps contain the obstruction and minimizes trauma to the blood vessel during the removal process.
