Abstract: Delivery (and recovery) devices and techniques for delivering an implant into a desired location within the body and catch systems for such implants. The devices and techniques relate particularly to, but are not limited to, a patent foramen ovale (PFO) occluder made from a polymer tube. A catch system maintains an occluder in a deployed configuration by holding it in a reduced axial length position. Some embodiments have a compressible tip. Some embodiments have temporary catching mechanisms.

Abstract: A delivery device for implanting a medical device including a flexible elongate member that is sized and shaped to fit within a body vessel. A collet is located at a first end of the flexible elongate member and has at least two arms being movable between a first open state and a second collapsed state. The arms form an inner chamber when in the collapsed state. The elongate member substantially surrounds the collet in a first position and is substantially separated from the collet in a second position thereby moving the arms between the closed state and the open state.
