An instrument (10) places a stent (11) axially and is reusable with differen t size stents (11). A loop on an arm (14) extends tangentially so at least one bore (15) aligns axially. A tab (16) extends from the arm (1 4) axially and from the loop in a plane. A ring on a limb (18) extends tangentially and has an axially aligned hole (19) in a plane. A bracket (20) extends from the tab (16) over and in front of the limb (18). A tube (21) extends for coaxial deposition axially, into the bore (15) and the hole (19) locating the ring forward of the loop. An end on the tube (21) opposite the bore (15) grips the stent (11). A sheath (23) coaxial to the tube (21) slides along the end and extends from the hole (19). A sheath (23) cavity (24) near the end is for the stent (11). A shaft (25) in the plane attaches to the bracket (20) parallel and axially conjugates with the limb (18) and arm (14) to prevent rotation.</SDO AB>
