Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a retrieval assembly, comprising the steps of: forming a first configuration comprising a substantially T-shape including three members, each member comprising a free end, one member positioned substantially perpendicular to the other two members; folding the other two members of the first configuration to form a loop with an apex; folding the substantially perpendicular member at the apex of the loop to form a first hemi-basket; forming a second configuration comprising a substantially T-shape including three members, each member comprising a free end, one member positioned substantially perpendicular to the other two members; folding the other two members of the second configuration to form a loop with an apex; folding the substantially perpendicular member at the apex of the loop to form a second hemi-basket; opposing the loop of the first hemi-basket to the loop of the second hemi-basket; and securing the free ends of members of the first hemi-basket to the free ends of members of the second hemi-basket to form the retrieval assembly.
