Abstract: A device for deploying an implant in a patient's body comprises an elongate delivery tube having an inner element comprising an imaging head, an intermediate element comprising implant retainer formations and an outer element comprising an outer sheath, the inner and outer elements being retractable relative to the intermediate element. A handle at a proximal end of the delivery tube contains a hub assembly comprising hubs of the inner element, the intermediate element and the outer element. A hub carriage that is movable longitudinally within the handle with respect to the intermediate element hub supports the hubs of the inner element hub and the outer element for movement with the hub carriage to retract the inner and outer elements relative to the intermediate element.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a delivery device for locating an expandable implant for treating BPH within the prostatic urethra of a patient. The delivery device comprises an inner tube and an outer sleeve movable relative to the inner tube between a stored position and a deployed position. The outer sleeve surrounds the inner tube to define an annulus therebetween and the expandable implant is retained within the annulus when the outer sleeve is in the stored position.
