Device for deploying an implantable medical device

摘要

Device useful for implanting an implantable device within the vasculature of a patient. The device includes a deployment line, a control component for actuating the deployment line, and an actuation mechanism for translating constant-rate actuation of the control component into variable rate retraction of the deployment line from a remotely deployable implantable device. Suitable implantable devices include, for example, stents and stent grafts.

1. A device for retracting a deployment line of a remotely deployable implantable device comprising:
a deployment line adapted to effect deployment of the remotely deployable implantable device and having a proximal end and a distal end; a control component for actuating the deployment line; an actuation mechanism for translating constant-rate actuation of the control component into variable rate retraction of the deployment line from the remotely deployable implantable device; and a housing component having a proximal end and a distal end; wherein said control component comprises a bore and a pin element inserted into said bore and in contact with and attached to the proximal end of said deployment line.
