  • Publication number: 20070179586
    Abstract: In a delivery catheter, first and second pods cover one or more prosthetic implants located around a central core, and are connected with one another to move as a unit and to present a continuous outer surface. Two independent release links, each extending from a proximal region of the delivery catheter to an interface with the first and second pods, respectively, and operative to displace the first and second pod, respectively. Applying tension to the release links releases the associated pod, either by displacing it from over the implant or rupturing the exterior of the pod. A user-operable handle at a proximal end of the delivery catheter can activate either or both independent release links. Also provided according to the present invention is a method for the deployment of a prosthetic implant.
