The Captus Vascular Retrieval System consists of a flexible polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Pebax shaft with a nitinol Braided Loop Snare (BLS) on the distal end. The device is designed to capture and retrieve foreign objects from the cardiovascular system. The lumen of the 120 cm long flexible snare shaft contains an inner rod that is secured to the BLS using an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) braided suture. The external torquer is attached to the proximal end of the shaft and supports BLS manipulation. During the procedure, once the distal end has been positioned near the foreign object, the torquer can be turned clockwise (in relation to the shaft) in order to cinch the BLS. This feature allows the foreign object to be more firmly secured before its retrieval.
