Medical device for e.g. removing thrombus from curved blood vessel, has suction opening turnable towards calculus such that calculus is connected with suction element over low pressure laterally transferable from line and suction element

摘要

The device has a catheter (30) comprising a suction line (20) and a suction element (10) that is convertible from a compressed state into an expanded state. The suction element and the line are connected with each other in a fluid-tight manner. The suction element forms state a hollow body (110) in the expanded state, and a fluid-tight shroud (11) comprises a radial inwardly directed suction opening (12). The opening is turnable towards a calculus (41) such that the calculus is connected with the suction element over low pressure laterally transferable from the line and the suction element.
