  • SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY ENDOPROSTHESIS DELIVERY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20080274011
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, a method for preparing a shape memory alloy endoprosthesis, displaying strain induced martensite phenomenon, for delivery includes inserting a shape memory alloy endoprosthesis into a delivery device, inducing a first strain within a first region of the shape memory alloy endoprosthesis, inducing a second strain within a second region of the shape memory alloy endoprosthesis, and sterilizing the delivery device while maintaining the first strain and the second strain induced within the shape memory alloy endoprosthesis. In accordance with other embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus for delivering a shape memory alloy endoprosthesis includes an inner core having a first diameter, an outer body having a second diameter greater than the first diameter, and a calibrated endcap attached to the inner core.
