INTEGRATED MECHANICAL HANDLE WITH QUICK SLIDE MECHANISM

摘要

A method of deploying a prosthesis includes engaging a hub assembly (702) of a handle (112) to a threaded outer surface of a slide shaft (402) of the handle; rotating the hub assembly to cause axial translation of the hub assembly and a sheath (106) coupled to the hub assembly to initiate deployment of the prosthesis (102); disengaging the hub assembly from the threaded outer surface by pivoting a thread tooth (708A, 708B, 1804A, 1804B) of the hub assembly out of threaded engagement with the threaded outer surface; and sliding the hub assembly on the slide shaft to further retract the sheath and complete deployment of the prosthesis.
