Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a device for housing and retaining a delivery system for a self-expanding implant while providing means for actuating the delivery system.

Claims (5)

1. A medical device comprising:

a delivery device; and

an independent and non-integrated delivery system for a self-expanding implant, the delivery system comprising an outer sheath and an inner shaft, wherein

the delivery device is configured for receiving and operating the independent and non-integrated delivery system for a self expanding implant,

the delivery device having a tray, a first non-moveable handle with a finger hole attached to said tray, a receptacle defined by walls of the tray for receiving and retaining the independent and non-integrated delivery system for a self expanding implant, a second movable handle with a finger hole attached to the receptacle for engagement with a movable portion of the independent and non-integrated delivery system, the second moveable handle comprising an opening, a compartment adjacent the receptacle, the compartment housing a lead screw rotationally fixed to and extending from a screw bed in the first non-moveable handle through an opening in the second moveable handle and terminating with an adjustment knob having a through threaded hole and configured to allow the lead screw to thread through and extend from the threaded hole, whereby turning the adjustment knob translates to fine movement between the inner shaft and the outer sheath by allowing the lead screw to thread through and extend from the threaded hole, the second moveable handle also being configured for movement independent of the lead screw that translates into gross movement between the inner shaft and the outer sheath, and a removable insert fitted for housing with the opening in the second moveable handle and for securing, via an interference fit, a distal end of the delivery system, wherein the delivery device is readily detachable and independent from the non-integrated delivery system for a self expanding implant.
