Abstract

The invention relates to a filter catheter. This catheter comprises a tube-like basic body with a proximal and a distal end, a filter element arranged at the distal end formed by a number of strips arranged spaced out around the circumference, which are connected with both ends to the basic body. The relatively distal ends of the strips are connected in a detachable manner to the basic body by connecting member.
