A device may be used for capturing and retrieving vascular debris. The device may comprise: at least two segments radially expandable from a collapsed state to an expanded state, each of the at least two segments having (a) a waist comprising a radially largest region of the segment and (b) two longitudinal ends； at least one intermediate portion, each of the at least one intermediate portion comprising a pivot that connects adjacent segments, each pivot having a diameter less than a diameter of the waist； a tether attached to a proximalmost of the at least two segments and configured to position the at least two segments； wherein each of the at least two segments comprises at least two struts that extend longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end of the segment, the at least two struts tapering from the waist radially inward toward a longitudinal axis of the device as the at least two struts approach an adjacent intermediate portion.
