Patent number: 7074236Abstract: A first stent delivery system provided with a sheath for covering the stent, the sheath including proximal sheath portion adapted to be movable in a proximal direction and a distal sheath portion adapted to be moveable in a distal direction. A second stent delivery system including an outer and intermediate tubular members covering a chamber with a preloaded stent, the outer tubular member being retractable prior to the retraction of the intermediate sheath and release of the stent. A third stent delivery system including with an inflatable balloon at a distal end of the system for fixing the system in place within the vessel prior to the release of the stent thereby insure accurate stent deployment.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2004Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: InTek Technology L.L.C.Inventors: Dmitry Rabkin, Eyal Morag, Ophir Perelson, Yoram Hadar
