First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical device for delivery through a catheter, the medical device comprising:
- a main bundle comprising a group of wires having a first end extending through the catheter and a second end;
where the main bundle of wires diverge at the second end to form a first shaped section, the first shaped section further comprises an expanded profile and a reduced profile for delivery through the catheter;
a plurality of individual subsets of wires each diverging from the first shaped section to form a second shaped section;
where the individual subsets of wires converge to form a third shaped section, where the third shaped section comprises an expanded profile and a reduced profile for delivery through the catheter; and
where the convergence and divergence of wires occurs without junctions between wires.

Abstract
The devices and methods described herein relate to jointless construction of complex structures. Such devices have applicability in through-out the body, including clearing of blockages within body lumens, such as the vasculature, by addressing, the frictional resistance on the obstruction prior to attempting to translate and/or mobilize the obstruction within the body lumen
