Abstract:
A medical retrieval tool including a sheath; and a basket device connected to the sheath. The basket device includes a shaft and a basket located at a distal end of the shaft. The shaft is movably located in the sheath. The basket includes a first basket cage section and a second basket cage section. The first basket cage section is located in front of the second basket cage section. The basket is configured to be extended from a distal end of the sheath in a plurality of deployment modes including a first deployment mode where the first basket cage section is deployed in a first fully expanded shape and the second basket cage section is located in the sheath; and a second deployment mode where both the first basket cage section and the second basket cage section are deployed out of the distal end of the sheath.

Claim (Index 13):
A method comprising:\n providing a basket device, where the basket device comprises a basket formed by a plurality of legs comprising superelastic material, where the legs are connected at distal ends of the legs: shape setting, by a first heat setting, at least a first portion of the legs to have a first shape; and shape setting, by a second heat setting, at least a second portion of the legs to have a second different shape, where the legs are shaped into a first basket cage section and a second basket cage section, where the first basket cage section is located in front of the second basket cage section, where the plurality of legs are joined at a shaft of the basket device and joined at a distal end of the basket device, and where the plurality of legs each have an inwardly bent section forming a reduced size neck between the first and second basket sections, where the legs are trained such that, when a front end of the basket is pressed against a surface with a predetermined force, the first and second basket cage sections are configured to change shape into a single basket cage section which is larger than the second basket cage section.
