CA 2590977

An apparatus is provided for removing matter from within a conduit. The apparatus generally comprises a separation edge attached to a wire at its proximal end, a frame attached to the distal end of the separation edge, and a membrane attached to the wire and disposed over the frame enclosing its interior. The membrane generally comprises a net constructed from a vaporized metal deposited on a mandrel. Alternatively, the membrane may comprise a braided tube constructed from wire. The apparatus may be employed as a filter or as a means for actively dislodging matter from the wall of a conduit. When employed as a filter, the apparatus is positioned downstream of the matter where it ensures that matter does not escape downstream as it is being removed. When employed to actively remover matter from a conduit, the apparatus is positioned downstream of the matter. The apparatus is then pulled proximally whereby it engages the matter and dislodges it from the wall of the conduit
