The filter covers cavas up to 30mm and is a development of the Trapease filter. This version is retrievable. Its simple to deploy and can be removed using a snare. Users have to make sure the filter is removed relatively quickly compared with other retrievable filters as it becomes fixed to the cava wall quickly. This is probably due to the large amount of the filter that is in contact with the cava wall.
