A device intended to be percutaneously introduced into the vasculature (coronary, peripheral and/or intracranial) through an appropriate intravascular catheter (not included) for the removal of clotted blood (i.e., a thrombus or thromboembolus) or other formed elements causing vascular obstruction. Also referred to as a stent retriever, it consists of an expanding, stent-like wire net connected to a pusher wire primarily intended to grip and remove the emboli/thrombi; in some cases revascularization may be achieved through thrombus reorientation. This is a single-use device.
