unobstructs
Removes the blockage
Unobstructs means to clear or remove a blockage from something, restoring free passage or flow.
A plumber unobstructs a drain; a surgeon unobstructs an artery.
The word is the straightforward opposite of obstruct, though clear or unblock appear more often in everyday speech: The medication unobstructs the airways.
