A, The BONnet consists of a self-expanding nitinol braiding with polyamide filaments passing through the interior to enlarge the surface area and enable better fixation of the thrombus mass. The system can be either put distal to the thrombus or released into the thrombus. B, The CRC is based on a fiber work of polyamide filaments whose lengths from proximal to distal end increase. The CRC has an additional nitinol thread cage at the proximal end of its fiber brush. This nitinol cage gives it a higher radial range. C, The Phenox pCR is based on perpendicularly oriented polyamide microfilaments that create an attenuated palisade.

The Penumbra System is based on an aspiration platform that includes reperfusion microcatheters connected to an aspiration pump. A teardrop-shaped separator is advanced and retracted within the lumen of the reperfusion catheter to debulk the clot for ease of aspiration.
