Patent ID: 8313503

Claim:
An endovascular device, comprising: a uni-body frame having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, said uni-body frame having at least two support members, at least two struts and at least two articulated segments, said uni-body frame circumscribing said axis and located at about the distal end; wherein the at least two support members includes a first support member and at least one secondary support member, wherein the at least one secondary support member is spaced distally from and attached to said first support member, wherein one of the at least one secondary member defines the distal end of the uni-body frame; wherein the at least two struts extend from the first support member towards said proximal end; and wherein the at least two articulated segments are located to extend longitudinally between the first support member and the at least one secondary support member; and a one piece filter media configured to collect embolic material is attached to the first support member, wherein the one piece filter media circumferentially covers said at least two support members circumscribing said axis; and the distal end of the filter media is circumferentially disposed about a guidewire wherein the circumferentially disposed filter media further comprises at least one point of contact between the filter media and the guidewire, and a majority of the filter media extends beyond the distal end of the uni-body frame.
