1. A retrieval device comprising:
a frame comprising struts and configured to expand from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, wherein the struts are connected to each other to form vertices;
protruding features each extending from a corresponding one of the vertices and radially inwardly from the frame when the frame is in the expanded configuration, wherein the struts form gaps that allow the struts to move toward and away from each other to facilitate transition between the collapsed configuration and the expanded configuration, each of the gaps being on a side of the corresponding one of the vertices that is opposite a corresponding one of the protruding features, each of the gaps being defined by parallel edges of the struts on opposing sides of a corresponding one of the gaps; and
an anchor portion connected to a proximal end of the frame.
