An apparatus is provided that is suitable for removing material from a living body and features an infusion pump and a suction pump, both driven by a motor. Preferably, the suction pump and infusion pump feature a helical pumping mechanism and operate at high speed rotation, thereby ensuring proper pumping performance and versatility. Furthermore, maintaining a narrow cross-sectional shape ensures that the device can reach more complex curved regions of the vasculature. [Selection] Figure 4 |
