A flexible elongate device having a distally mounted occluder for
collecting particulate debris in a body lumen. The occluder containing a
fixed amount of fluid is reversibly expandable by push-pull actuation
from a contracted configuration to a deployed configuration wherein the
occluder is expanded into sealing engagement with the wall of the body
lumen. The occluder has a distal end axially secured to an elongate inner
member and a proximal end attached to a distal end of an outer tubular
member. The occluder has an impermeable occluder casing for containing
the occluder fluid. The elongate inner member is slidable within the
outer tubular member such that relative longitudinal movement between the
elongate inner member and outer tubular member changes the length of the
occluder and thus redistributes the occluder fluid within the occluder
casing to transform the occluder between its contracted and deployed
configurations.
