  • Patent number: 9629737
    Abstract: A prosthesis introducer system may include an introducer. A trigger wire release mechanism and a restraining member may be positioned near the distal end of the introducer. The system may include first and second trigger wires, each including a proximal portion releasably coupleable to a portion of a prosthesis and a distal portion coupled to the trigger wire release mechanism. The second trigger wire may be engaged by the restraining member. Each of the first and second trigger wires may include a taut portion. The second trigger wire may include a slack portion extending distally from the taut portion and positioned distal of the restraining member. Upon actuation of the trigger wire release mechanism, the first trigger wire may be releasable from the prosthesis and the second trigger wire may be releasable subsequent to the release of the first trigger wire.

  • Patent number: 8986365
    Abstract: A medical device delivery system is described, the medical device delivery system comprising: a medical device carrier portion comprising a proximal end; a release mechanism cooperating with said medical device carrier portion and operable to release a medical device from said medical device carrier portion; and a proximal tip portion. The proximal tip portion comprises a largest outside diameter, a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of longitudinal lengths as measured from said proximal end to said distal end of said proximal tip portion, and is disposed proximal to said medical device carrier portion. The proximal tip portion further comprises and is operable between at least an extended longitudinal length and a retracted longitudinal length of said plurality of longitudinal lengths. Said extended longitudinal length is greater than said retracted longitudinal length.

  • Patent number: 8118854
    Abstract: An endovascular delivery device (2) for a stent graft which has a pusher catheter (4), a flexible sheath (10) over the pusher catheter and at least one auxiliary catheter (32) extending between the pusher catheter and the flexible sheath. The pusher catheter has one or more longitudinal grooves (30) on its outside surface and the auxiliary catheter or catheters extend along the longitudinal grooves. A guide wire in the auxiliary catheter can be used to pre-catheterize a fenestration in the stent graft and a branch stent or stent graft delivered through the auxiliary catheter.

  • Patent number: 8092510
    Abstract: A delivery system for self-expanding stents is provided. The delivery system includes a wire releasably attached to a portion of the self-expanding stent. The wire restrains movement of the stent when the stent is released from the delivery system. Thus, more accurate placement of the stent may be possible.
