Abstract

A filter device for capturing embolic material capable of retrogradely installing a filter is provided. A filter device for capturing embolic material has a core wire moving a filter member to a target position in a blood vessel, a guide portion formed on the distal front end side of the core wire and guiding the core wire in the blood vessel, the filter member provided on the core wire and capturing a blood clot and debris, and a sheath capable of extending the core wire therethrough.

Claims

1. A filter device for capturing embolic material comprising:

a core wire;

a guide portion provided on the distal front end side of the core wire;

a bag-like filter member provided on the core wire on the proximal rear end side of the guide portion to have an opening portion formed on the distal front end side and a bottom arranged on the proximal rear end side of the opening portion; and

a sheath capable of accommodating therein the core wire and the filter member.

2. The filter device for capturing embolic material according to claim 1, wherein the bottom of the filter member is not connected to the core wire.

3. The filter device for capturing embolic material according to claim 1, wherein an opening portion holding wire is provided on the core wire and holds the filter member along the periphery of the opening portion.

4. The filter device for capturing embolic material according to claim 1, wherein the opening portion is tilted from a joint between the opening portion and the core wire to the distal front end side of the core wire.

5. The filter device for capturing embolic material according to claim 1, wherein a beam member is extended between the opening portion holding wire and the core wire with respect to the opening portion.

6. The filter device for capturing embolic material according to claim 5, further comprising a connecting portion connecting the beam member and the core wire, the connecting portion being slidable on the core wire, and a movement preventing member preventing the connecting portion from being slid to the proximal rear end side of the core wire from a specified position.

7. The filter device for capturing embolic material according to claim 1, further comprising a withdrawing sheath used for withdrawal.
