Zusammenfassung:An implanted device, such as an inferior vena cava filter (42), that is partially embedded in soft tissue is retrieved by coupling a vibration device (20) to the implanted device. The implanted device is disembedded from the soft tissue at least in part by generating a vibration with a vibration generator (30), transmitting the vibration along the vibration transmission apparatus to the implanted device, and vibrating the implanted device. The implanted device is then moved away from the embedding site. A medical device assembly includes the vibration generator, the implantable device and the vibration transmission apparatus.
