Abstract
An intracorporeal grasping device includes a tubular member for entering a lumen of a human body and the tubular member having a distal end portion. An elongated core member is disposed within the interior cavity of the tubular member for rotational or slidable movement within the tubular member and the elongated core member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The elongated core member includes a grasping configuration for capturing an object (e.g., clot or debris) therein.
