Stent delivery system

摘要

Stent delivery systems, clip members for use with stent delivery systems, and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. An example stent delivery system may include an inner shaft having a distal region. A stent may be disposed about the distal region. A deployment sheath may be slidably disposed about the inner shaft. A handle may be coupled to the inner shaft. The handle may include a clip member having a first holding portion and a second holding portion. The inner shaft may extend through the first holding portion and the second holding portion. A holding cuff may be thermally bonded to the inner shaft. The holding cuff may be positioned between the first holding portion and the second holding portion.

1. A stent delivery system, comprising:
an inner shaft having a distal region; a stent disposed about the distal region; a deployment sheath slidably disposed about the inner shaft; a handle coupled to a proximal region of the inner shaft and attached to the deployment sheath, the handle including a handle housing; a clip member disposed within and secured to the handle housing, the clip member having a first tubular holding portion spaced apart at a longitudinal distance from a second tubular holding portion; wherein the inner shaft extends through the first holding portion and the second holding portion; and a holding cuff bonded to the inner shaft, the holding cuff being positioned between the first holding portion and the second holding portion so as to prevent unwanted movement of the inner shaft relative to the handle.
