Abstract

See full text

A hand-held gripping device that allows one of a surgeon, a dentist, and an orthodontist to reach interior portions of a person's anatomy, includes a gripping portion having a pair of jaws or nets movable relative to each other between fully clamped and fully opened positions thereof, a handle portion spaced apart from the jaw portion by a bendable central portion that has a hollow, bendable corrugated member with at least one cord extending therethrough. The retrieval of a thrombus to promptly address ischemic issues is made possible due to the flexible corrugated member being able to access small vessels in a patient's brain, as well as magnetic properties of the thrombus and/or jaws, nets, bags, or flexible fingers, of the grasping end, thus facilitating removal of the thrombus.
