1. An intravascular device for use in a body lumen, comprising:
- an elongate member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion configured to extend exterior of the body lumen; and
a body attached to the second end portion of the elongate member, the body being configured for deployment within the body lumen and including a substructure that absorbs forces applied to the body of the elongate member.

Abstract
A device for use in capturing or collecting debris found in blood vessels or other body lumens. The devices can be fabricated from a tube and include longitudinally and circumferentially extending members. The device can further embody structure that provides enhanced radial opening and angular resistance to collapse and structure for absorbing or modifying forces applied thereto by an operator.

13. An embolic protection device for use in a body lumen, comprising:
-
an elongate member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion configured to extend exterior of the body lumen; and
a body portion, the body portion defined by a pair of rib members extending distally from the elongate member, each rib member branching into a pair of proximal ring members, each proximal ring member branching into pairs of distal ring members to thereby define pairs of adjacent distal ring members converging into a plurality of single members which converge to define a distal end of the body. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An embolic protection device for use in vasculature, comprising:
-
an elongate member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion configured to extend exterior of vasculature; and
a body having a proximal end portion connected to the elongate member and which is defined by two pairs of rib members, each rib member branching into pairs of proximal ring members defining a first ring which is connected by a plurality of links to a second ring defined by distal ring members to thereby define a midsection, extending distally from the midsection are a plurality of longitudinally extending members which converge to define a distal end portion of the body. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An embolic protection device for use in vasculature, comprising:
-
an elongate member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion configured to extend exterior of vasculature; and
a body including four ribs diverging from the elongate member, each rib branching into a pair of ring members to thereby define pairs of adjacent ring members, each pair of adjacent ring members converging to define a link, extending distally from each link are a pair of second ring members each of which converge into one of a plurality of terminal members which are joined to define a distal end portion of the body. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
