Abstract

Claims (34)

1. A system comprising:

a main body;

a delivery catheter sheath projecting distally from a distal end portion of the main body; and

a handle member supported by the main body, wherein the handle member is axially moveable along the main body by axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body, and wherein the main body comprises a slot configured to receive a protruding portion of the handle member.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising external threads along a portion of the main body.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the external threads extend along approximately 40% to approximately 70% of a length of the main body.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the handle member does not rotate relative to the main body.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the main body slideably receives the handle member.

6. A system comprising:

a main body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion;

an inner core axially advanceable through the main body; and

a handle member supported by the main body of a delivery catheter, the handle member being axially moveable along the main body, wherein the inner core is axially moveable by axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body; and wherein the inner core is selectively engageable by the handle member.

7. The system of claim 6 , further comprising external threads along a portion of the main body.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the external threads extend along approximately 40% to approximately 70% of a length of the main body.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the handle member does not rotate relative to the main body.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the main body slideably receives the handle member.

11. A system comprising:

a main body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion;

an inner core axially advanceable through the main body; and

a handle member supported by the main body, the handle member being axially moveable along the main body;

wherein the inner core is axially moveable by axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body; and

wherein the inner core is rotatable relative to the handle member.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the inner core comprises a core wire and a plurality of tabs are spaced axially along at least a portion of the core wire.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the handle member is axially moveable along the main body by axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body.

14. The system of claim 11 , further comprising external threads along a portion of the main body.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the external threads extend along approximately 40% to approximately 70% of a length of the main body.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the main body slideably receives the handle member.

17. A system comprising:

a main body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion;

an inner core axially advanceable through the main body;

a handle member supported by the main body, the handle member being axially moveable along the main body; and

wherein the inner core is axially moveable by axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body

wherein the handle member does not rotate relative to the main body.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the inner core is rotatable relative to the handle member.
