STENT DEVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAKING SUCH

摘要

A stent device delivery system (1), comprising: a stent device (4), and an outer sheath (2) overlaying the stent device in a radially compact, delivery configuration of the stent device; the outer sheath is retractable to allow the stent device to radially expand to a deployed configuration; a pull member (57) for pulling proximally on to retract the outer sheath; wherein a portion of the outer sheath is heat shrunk radially onto a relatively heat shrink resistant support member in order to capture a distal portion of the pull member radially between the outer sheath and the heat shrink resistant support member.
