MEDICAL INSTRUMENT DEPLOYER

摘要

The present disclosure provides for a medical instrument deployer having a barrier element such that the barrier element may move between a closed state, where the medical instrument is contained, and an open state, where the medical instrument is deployed within a body. Moving the barrier element between the closed state and the open state may involve rotating the barrier element around the circumference of the deployer.
