Abstract
An embolic protection device for capturing emboli in a body vessel having a frame and a z-stent waist band. The frame includes a plurality of struts configured to open radially to define an expanded state of the device for capturing emboli and to fold along the longitudinal axis to define a collapsed state of the device for deployment and retrieval. The waist band has an open and a closed state and is attached to within the frame between a proximal and distal end. The waist band is formed of a plurality of members attached at a joint to an adjacent member such that the members lie substantially parallel in the closed state and form a “Z” pattern in the open state. A filter portion is attached to the waist band and configured to capture emboli in the expanded state.
