Zusammenfassung:According to the present disclosure, there is provided a device which can have a funnel catheter having an expandable distal tip. The funnel catheter can originally be placed in a collapsed configuration for delivery through vasculature to a target thrombus location. Once positioned, the expandable tip can be radially expanded to create a funnel for aspirating or retrieving clots from a vessel. The funnel catheter can be at least partially enclosed by an outer sheath for purposes of delivery to the target site or to assist in expansion of the funnel catheter tip.
