LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Retriever Medical, a leader in developing advanced mechanical thrombectomy catheters, is proud to announce the receipt of a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its patent application covering a breakthrough clot removal device. This innovative device is designed to efficiently remove occlusions from blood vessels, significantly advancing the treatment of thrombotic conditions.

The newly allowed patent, titled “Clot Removal Methods and Devices with Multiple Independently Controllable Elements,” outlines a novel device featuring an elongated member with two independently expandable elements, each controllable through a specialized handle interface. This technology enables precise manipulation of the device within the vessel, allowing the expandable elements to adopt various geometric shapes, including spherical, elliptical, and conical forms, to optimize clot capture and removal.

Key Features of the Patented Technology:
• Dual Expandable Elements: The device is equipped with proximal and distal expandable elements along the length of the elongated member, each capable of independent movement and expansion to accommodate various clot sizes and vessel anatomies.
• Multiple Geometric Configurations: The expandable elements can be adjusted to a variety of shapes such as spherical, elliptical, and conical, ensuring effective engagement with the clot and minimizing the risk of vessel damage.
• Enhanced Control Mechanism: The handle is designed with multiple physically manipulable interfaces, allowing precise control over the expansion and movement of the device, providing the operator with superior flexibility and control during the procedure.

“This Notice of Allowance is a significant milestone for Retriever Medical, as it solidifies our position as a pioneer in the development of mechanical thrombectomy devices,” said Ben Bobo, CEO of Retriever Medical. “Our technology represents a critical step forward in the treatment of thrombotic events, offering physicians a highly adaptable tool that can be tailored to the specific needs of each patient. We are excited to bring this innovation to market and continue our mission to improve outcomes for patients suffering from vascular occlusions.”

The patent is expected to be officially issued in the coming months, further strengthening Retriever Medical’s intellectual property portfolio and providing the company with a strong competitive edge in the thrombectomy device market.
