Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for percutaneous retrieval of objects, such as endovascular devices, from an internal body space. The present inventions have vascular, non-vascular (gastrointestinal), and surgical (laproscopic) applications. The inventions include a retrieval end having one or more compressed states and an expanded state, the retrieval end adopting the expanded state when the retrieval end is deployed into a subject's internal body space, the retrieval end having a mouth through which an object can be passed into an interior space within the retrieval end when the retrieval end is in the expanded state, the mouth being adjustable between an opened state and a closed state; wherein when at least a portion of the retrieval end of the inner sheath is transitioned to a compressed state following capture of the object, the retrieval end exerts an inward force that at least partially collapses or compresses the object.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for transforming a linear pulling force at one end of a catheter device to a radial compressive force at the opposite end of said catheter device that is substantially perpendicular to said linear pulling force comprising:\n an outer sheath having a lumen; an inner sheath that is adapted for insertion into the outer sheath, the inner sheath comprising\n a wire woven distal end having a compressed state and an expanded state, the distal end adopting the compressed state when the distal end is housed within the lumen of the outer sheath, and adopting the expanded state when the distal end of the inner sheath exits the distal end of the outer sheath, \n the distal end of the inner sheath having a mouth, a main body section, a tapered section, and an attachment portion, \n wherein when said inner sheath in the expanded state is withdrawn into the said outer sheath with said linear force progressive contact with said tapered section and then said cylindrical body produces a radial compressive force within the wire woven distal end of the inner sheath.
