IMPLANTABLE FILTER Abstract of the Disclosure A blood clot filtration device, for implantation percutaneously, for preventing movement of blood clots within a blood vessel. The device has a head and a plurality of legs extending therefrom. The legs include a first linear leg portion of predetermined length emanating distally from the head generally parallel to the axis of the device; a second multi-angled leg portion of relatively greater length extending generally outwardly from the distal end of the first linear leg portion at an acute angle to the axis, to form, with other second leg portions, a conical aspect, the second leg portion having a series of discrete linear segments arrayed generally tangent to a cone defined by the second leg portions of the set of legs; and a hook portion at the distal end of each the leg extending outwardly, away from the axis in a manner for engaging the blood vessel to fix the position of the device therewithin. The configuration of the legs, including the first linear portion, and the use of a high strength titanium alloy for the head, formed by fusing, and legs produces a filter which is able to tolerate severe compression for introduction percutaneously through a small sheath without yeilding. Preferably a central wire segment is disposed axially, with the first linear leg portions of the filter disposed closely thereabout.
