  • Patent number: 11471645
    Abstract: An intravascular delivery system includes a delivery sheath capable of transmitting a predetermined tension or compression force in a longitudinal direction while maintaining flexibility to navigate tortuous anatomy. A method of delivering a medical device includes inserting an intravascular device delivery system including a delivery sheath having a continuous spine into a bodily lumen. A distal longitudinal force is applied to the delivery sheath. The distal force is transmitted through the continuous spine and across one or more slit cuts of the delivery sheath. A proximal longitudinal force is applied to the delivery sheath. The proximal longitudinal force is transmitted through the continuous spine of the delivery sheath.

  • Publication number: 20210369456
    Abstract: An intravascular device delivery system includes an elongated member with a distal end cap and a delivery disc that are longitudinally movable using a disc handle. A main body of the disc handle is configured to move the distal end cap and a movable body of the disc handle is configured to move the delivery disc. The movable body is movable relative to the main body, and the main body and movable body are movable together.
